# Decode With Drops Example

This is an example utility which drops a series of frames, as specified on the command line. This is useful for observing the error recovery features of the codec.

## Usage

This example adds a single argument to the `simple_decoder` example, which specifies the range or pattern of frames to drop. The parameter is parsed as follows:

    if(argc!=4)
        die("Usage: %s <infile> <outfile> <N-M|N/M>\n", argv[0]);
    {
        char *nptr;
        n = strtol(argv[3], &nptr, 0);
        m = strtol(nptr+1, NULL, 0);
        is_range = *nptr == '-';
        if(!n || !m || (*nptr != '-' && *nptr != '/'))
            die("Couldn't parse pattern %s\n", argv[3]);
    }

## Dropping A Range Of Frames

To drop a range of frames, specify the starting frame and the ending frame to drop, separated by a dash. The following command will drop frames 5 through 10 (base 1).

$ ./decode_with_drops in.ivf out.i420 5-10

## Dropping A Pattern Of Frames

To drop a pattern of frames, specify the number of frames to drop and the number of frames after which to repeat the pattern, separated by a forward-slash. The following command will drop 3 of 7 frames. Specifically, it will decode 4 frames, then drop 3 frames, and then repeat.

$ ./decode_with_drops in.ivf out.i420 3/7

## Extra Variables

This example maintains the pattern passed on the command line in the `n`, `m`, and `is_range` variables:

    int              n, m, is_range;

## Making The Drop Decision

The example decides whether to drop the frame based on the current frame number, immediately before decoding the frame.

    if((is_range && frame_cnt >= n && frame_cnt <= m)
       ||(!is_range && m - (frame_cnt-1)%m <= n)) {
       putc('X', stdout);
       continue;
    }
    putc('.', stdout);
    fflush(stdout);
