Jake Fineman 611cec792a avdevice/decklink: fix build on macOS by defining IID_IUnknown
Commits 0cd75dbfa0 and 27e94281d1 added QueryInterface()
implementations that compare the requested interface against
IID_IUnknown. The Linux SDK defines it in LinuxCOM.h and the Windows
SDK gets it from the platform COM headers, but the macOS SDK uses
CoreFoundation's COM types from <CoreFoundation/CFPlugInCOM.h>, which
only provide IUnknownUUID as a CFUUIDRef. Since then, building with
--enable-decklink on macOS fails:

  libavdevice/decklink_dec.cpp:138:43: error: use of undeclared
  identifier 'IID_IUnknown'
  libavdevice/decklink_dec.cpp:603:43: error: use of undeclared
  identifier 'IID_IUnknown'
  libavdevice/decklink_enc.cpp:120:39: error: use of undeclared
  identifier 'IID_IUnknown'
  libavdevice/decklink_enc.cpp:181:39: error: use of undeclared
  identifier 'IID_IUnknown'

On macOS, REFIID is CFUUIDBytes, so derive IID_IUnknown from
IUnknownUUID with CFUUIDGetUUIDBytes(), the same definition used by
the macOS samples shipped with the DeckLink SDK. This avoids
duplicating the GUID bytes, and CFUUIDGetConstantUUIDWithBytes()
returns a constant that must not be released. The definition is
limited to __APPLE__, so Linux and Windows builds are unchanged.

Tested with DeckLink SDK 16.0 and Apple clang 21 on macOS arm64.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
