doc_rst: rename the media Sphinx suff to Documentation/media
The name of the subsystem is "media", and not "linux_tv". Also, as we plan to add other stuff there in the future, let's rename also the media uAPI book to media_uapi, to make it clearer. No functional changes. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@s-opensource.com>

+Video Data Types
+****************
+
+
+.. _video-format-t:
+
+video_format_t
+==============
+
+The ``video_format_t`` data type defined by
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef enum {
+ VIDEO_FORMAT_4_3, /* Select 4:3 format */
+ VIDEO_FORMAT_16_9, /* Select 16:9 format. */
+ VIDEO_FORMAT_221_1 /* 2.21:1 */
+ } video_format_t;
+
+is used in the VIDEO_SET_FORMAT function (??) to tell the driver which
+aspect ratio the output hardware (e.g. TV) has. It is also used in the
+data structures video_status (??) returned by VIDEO_GET_STATUS (??)
+and video_event (??) returned by VIDEO_GET_EVENT (??) which report
+about the display format of the current video stream.
+
+
+.. _video-displayformat-t:
+
+video_displayformat_t
+=====================
+
+In case the display format of the video stream and of the display
+hardware differ the application has to specify how to handle the
+cropping of the picture. This can be done using the
+VIDEO_SET_DISPLAY_FORMAT call (??) which accepts
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef enum {
+ VIDEO_PAN_SCAN, /* use pan and scan format */
+ VIDEO_LETTER_BOX, /* use letterbox format */
+ VIDEO_CENTER_CUT_OUT /* use center cut out format */
+ } video_displayformat_t;
+
+as argument.
+
+
+.. _video-stream-source-t:
+
+video_stream_source_t
+=====================
+
+The video stream source is set through the VIDEO_SELECT_SOURCE call
+and can take the following values, depending on whether we are replaying
+from an internal (demuxer) or external (user write) source.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef enum {
+ VIDEO_SOURCE_DEMUX, /* Select the demux as the main source */
+ VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY /* If this source is selected, the stream
+ comes from the user through the write
+ system call */
+ } video_stream_source_t;
+
+VIDEO_SOURCE_DEMUX selects the demultiplexer (fed either by the
+frontend or the DVR device) as the source of the video stream. If
+VIDEO_SOURCE_MEMORY is selected the stream comes from the application
+through the **write()** system call.
+
+
+.. _video-play-state-t:
+
+video_play_state_t
+==================
+
+The following values can be returned by the VIDEO_GET_STATUS call
+representing the state of video playback.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef enum {
+ VIDEO_STOPPED, /* Video is stopped */
+ VIDEO_PLAYING, /* Video is currently playing */
+ VIDEO_FREEZED /* Video is freezed */
+ } video_play_state_t;
+
+
+.. _video-command:
+
+struct video_command
+====================
+
+The structure must be zeroed before use by the application This ensures
+it can be extended safely in the future.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct video_command {
+ __u32 cmd;
+ __u32 flags;
+ union {
+ struct {
+ __u64 pts;
+ } stop;
+
+ struct {
+ /* 0 or 1000 specifies normal speed,
+ 1 specifies forward single stepping,
+ -1 specifies backward single stepping,
+ >>1: playback at speed/1000 of the normal speed,
+ <-1: reverse playback at (-speed/1000) of the normal speed. */
+ __s32 speed;
+ __u32 format;
+ } play;
+
+ struct {
+ __u32 data[16];
+ } raw;
+ };
+ };
+
+
+.. _video-size-t:
+
+video_size_t
+============
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef struct {
+ int w;
+ int h;
+ video_format_t aspect_ratio;
+ } video_size_t;
+
+
+.. _video-event:
+
+struct video_event
+==================
+
+The following is the structure of a video event as it is returned by the
+VIDEO_GET_EVENT call.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct video_event {
+ __s32 type;
+ #define VIDEO_EVENT_SIZE_CHANGED 1
+ #define VIDEO_EVENT_FRAME_RATE_CHANGED 2
+ #define VIDEO_EVENT_DECODER_STOPPED 3
+ #define VIDEO_EVENT_VSYNC 4
+ __kernel_time_t timestamp;
+ union {
+ video_size_t size;
+ unsigned int frame_rate; /* in frames per 1000sec */
+ unsigned char vsync_field; /* unknown/odd/even/progressive */
+ } u;
+ };
+
+
+.. _video-status:
+
+struct video_status
+===================
+
+The VIDEO_GET_STATUS call returns the following structure informing
+about various states of the playback operation.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ struct video_status {
+ int video_blank; /* blank video on freeze? */
+ video_play_state_t play_state; /* current state of playback */
+ video_stream_source_t stream_source; /* current source (demux/memory) */
+ video_format_t video_format; /* current aspect ratio of stream */
+ video_displayformat_t display_format;/* selected cropping mode */
+ };
+
+If video_blank is set video will be blanked out if the channel is
+changed or if playback is stopped. Otherwise, the last picture will be
+displayed. play_state indicates if the video is currently frozen,
+stopped, or being played back. The stream_source corresponds to the
+seleted source for the video stream. It can come either from the
+demultiplexer or from memory. The video_format indicates the aspect
+ratio (one of 4:3 or 16:9) of the currently played video stream.
+Finally, display_format corresponds to the selected cropping mode in
+case the source video format is not the same as the format of the output
+device.
+
+
+.. _video-still-picture:
+
+struct video_still_picture
+==========================
+
+An I-frame displayed via the VIDEO_STILLPICTURE call is passed on
+within the following structure.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* pointer to and size of a single iframe in memory */
+ struct video_still_picture {
+ char *iFrame; /* pointer to a single iframe in memory */
+ int32_t size;
+ };
+
+
+.. _video_caps:
+
+video capabilities
+==================
+
+A call to VIDEO_GET_CAPABILITIES returns an unsigned integer with the
+following bits set according to the hardwares capabilities.
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ /* bit definitions for capabilities: */
+ /* can the hardware decode MPEG1 and/or MPEG2? */
+ #define VIDEO_CAP_MPEG1 1
+ #define VIDEO_CAP_MPEG2 2
+ /* can you send a system and/or program stream to video device?
+ (you still have to open the video and the audio device but only
+ send the stream to the video device) */
+ #define VIDEO_CAP_SYS 4
+ #define VIDEO_CAP_PROG 8
+ /* can the driver also handle SPU, NAVI and CSS encoded data?
+ (CSS API is not present yet) */
+ #define VIDEO_CAP_SPU 16
+ #define VIDEO_CAP_NAVI 32
+ #define VIDEO_CAP_CSS 64
+
+
+.. _video-system:
+
+video_system_t
+==============
+
+A call to VIDEO_SET_SYSTEM sets the desired video system for TV
+output. The following system types can be set:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef enum {
+ VIDEO_SYSTEM_PAL,
+ VIDEO_SYSTEM_NTSC,
+ VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALN,
+ VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALNc,
+ VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALM,
+ VIDEO_SYSTEM_NTSC60,
+ VIDEO_SYSTEM_PAL60,
+ VIDEO_SYSTEM_PALM60
+ } video_system_t;
+
+
+.. _video-highlight:
+
+struct video_highlight
+======================
+
+Calling the ioctl VIDEO_SET_HIGHLIGHTS posts the SPU highlight
+information. The call expects the following format for that information:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef
+ struct video_highlight {
+ boolean active; /* 1=show highlight, 0=hide highlight */
+ uint8_t contrast1; /* 7- 4 Pattern pixel contrast */
+ /* 3- 0 Background pixel contrast */
+ uint8_t contrast2; /* 7- 4 Emphasis pixel-2 contrast */
+ /* 3- 0 Emphasis pixel-1 contrast */
+ uint8_t color1; /* 7- 4 Pattern pixel color */
+ /* 3- 0 Background pixel color */
+ uint8_t color2; /* 7- 4 Emphasis pixel-2 color */
+ /* 3- 0 Emphasis pixel-1 color */
+ uint32_t ypos; /* 23-22 auto action mode */
+ /* 21-12 start y */
+ /* 9- 0 end y */
+ uint32_t xpos; /* 23-22 button color number */
+ /* 21-12 start x */
+ /* 9- 0 end x */
+ } video_highlight_t;
+
+
+.. _video-spu:
+
+struct video_spu
+================
+
+Calling VIDEO_SET_SPU deactivates or activates SPU decoding, according
+to the following format:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef
+ struct video_spu {
+ boolean active;
+ int stream_id;
+ } video_spu_t;
+
+
+.. _video-spu-palette:
+
+struct video_spu_palette
+========================
+
+The following structure is used to set the SPU palette by calling
+VIDEO_SPU_PALETTE:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef
+ struct video_spu_palette {
+ int length;
+ uint8_t *palette;
+ } video_spu_palette_t;
+
+
+.. _video-navi-pack:
+
+struct video_navi_pack
+======================
+
+In order to get the navigational data the following structure has to be
+passed to the ioctl VIDEO_GET_NAVI:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef
+ struct video_navi_pack {
+ int length; /* 0 ... 1024 */
+ uint8_t data[1024];
+ } video_navi_pack_t;
+
+
+.. _video-attributes-t:
+
+video_attributes_t
+==================
+
+The following attributes can be set by a call to VIDEO_SET_ATTRIBUTES:
+
+
+.. code-block:: c
+
+ typedef uint16_t video_attributes_t;
+ /* bits: descr. */
+ /* 15-14 Video compression mode (0=MPEG-1, 1=MPEG-2) */
+ /* 13-12 TV system (0=525/60, 1=625/50) */
