It is supposed to be a flag. The only currently defined value is
AVIO_SEEKABLE_NORMAL, but other ones may be added in the future.
However all the current lavf code treats this field as a bool (mainly
for historical reasons).
Change all those cases to properly check for AVIO_SEEKABLE_NORMAL.
Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
Note that this slightly changes behavior: it sets AVMEDIA_TYPE_UNKNOWN
if the codec type is unknown. This should be ok.

If a PAT is finished while a PMT section filter is opened but
not yet finished, the PMT section filter is closed and all
the received data is discarded.
This is usually not an issue but some multiplexers (With very
quick PAT/PMT repetition settings) consistently emit a PMT
section start, then a PAT, and then the rest of the PMT,
causing the aforementioned behavior to result in no PMT being
finished.
In the most pathologic situation the stream information are lost
and the probe fallback miscategorizes subtitles as mp3 audio.
Avoid the issue through eliminating redundant PSI/SI table
updates by checking their version field, which is required by
the standard to be incremented on every change no matter how
minor.

analyze() is currently called both when probing and from read_header().
It determines the packet start by looking for the sync byte, followed by
unset Transport Error Indicator and valid adaptation_field_control.
This makes sense to do when probing, but once we already know the format
is MPEG-TS, it is counterproductive to be so strict -- e.g. in some
files the TEI might be set and analyze() might get called with a smaller
buffer than the one used for probing, resulting in a failure.
Nothing uses it, and it provides no public API.
Archeological finds:
Commit 101036adb9 added the API.
Commit a8dd8dc6e9 made mpegts.c use it.
Commit af8aae3fa3 disabled it by default in mpegts.c.
Commit ae2bb52cd2 removed all uses of this from mpegts.c.

AVFormatContext->priv_data is not always a MpegTSContext, it can be
RTSPState when decoding a RTP stream. So it is necessary to pass
MpegTSContext pointer explicitly.
Within libav, the write_section_data function doesn't actually use
the MpegTSContext at all, so this doesn't change anything at the
moment (no memory was corrupted before), but it reduces the risk of
anybody trying to touch the MpegTSContext via AVFormatContext->priv_data
in the future.

We cannot easily determine if an mpeg TS's packet size is DVHS, FEC
or so on, for that we need to expose the internal raw_packet_size
field.

The common case of the pointer having increased by one packet (which results
in no change to the modulus) can be detected with a 64-bit subtraction,
which is far cheaper than a division on many platforms.

When a stream contains a single program, there's no point in doing a
PID -> program lookup. Normally the one and only program isn't disabled,
so no packets should be discarded.

This was being performed to ensure that a complete packet was held in
contiguous memory, prior to parsing the packet. However, the source buffer
is typically large enough that the packet was already contiguous, so it is
beneficial to return the packet by reference in most cases.

The lavf-internal parser functions are used when receiving
mpegts over RTP. This fixes memory leaks in this setup.
The normal mpegts demuxer close function was updated in ec7d0d2e in
2004 to fix leaks, but the parsing function used for RTP wasn't
updated and has been leaking ever since.

This fixes crashes, where the demuxer could return 0 even
if the returned AVPacket isn't initialized at all. This
could happen if running into EOF or running out of probesize
with non-seekable sources.

The mpegts demuxer reads 5 KB at startup just for discovering
the packet size. Since the default avio buffer size is 32 KB,
the seek back to the start will in most cases be within the
avio buffer, and will in most cases succeed even if the actual
protocol isn't seekable.
This makes the demuxer startup faster/with less data when
reading data from a non-seekable input, by not skipping
the first few KB.
If it fails, don't warn if the protocol isn't seekable, making
it behave as before in the failure case.
