[0022] Principle of this method: First, the user needs to download and install a pre-configured compressed package, which integrates the ffmpeg tool. After the installation is complete, the user needs to add the executable file path of ffmpeg to the system's environment variables to ensure that the ffmpeg command can be directly called in any command line interface. Then, the user enters the full path of the media file to be identified through the command line interface, and uses the ffmpeg -i parameter to specify the input file. After receiving the instruction, ffmpeg will start its powerful media parsing capability, deeply parse the file, extract and display detailed encoding information, including but not limited to video encoding format, audio encoding format, video resolution, frame rate key parameters. After the parsing is completed, ffmpeg will display these The encoding information is directly output to the command line window in an easy-to-understand manner for users to view. Then, the process enters the compatibility check stage, in which the encoding information parsed by ffmpeg is compared one by one with the decoding format table officially supported by the CoreChi multimedia chip. The algorithm logic is used to determine whether the encoding of the file meets the decoding requirements of the CoreChi chip. Finally, based on the recognition results and compatibility judgment, the system automatically generates a detailed report. This report not only contains the encoding information recognition results of the media file, but also clearly points out whether the file is compatible with the CoreChi multimedia chip, providing valuable reference information for testers and R&D personnel. The entire process realizes full automation from file input to compatibility evaluation and report output, improving work efficiency and accuracy.
