Python function
open_video_container
open_video_container()
max.pipelines.context.open_video_container(source)
Opens a video container for reading via PyAV, rejecting known-vulnerable codecs.
Video-decoding pipelines should open containers through this function
rather than calling av.open directly, so the codec blocklist applies
uniformly everywhere PyAV decodes untrusted video input.
-
Parameters:
-
source (str | IO[bytes]) – A file path or file-like object containing the encoded video.
-
Returns:
-
The opened input container.
-
Raises:
-
MediaDecodeError – If any video stream uses a blocked codec.
-
Return type:
-
InputContainer
