This API is intended to allow passing around codec parameters without
using full AVCodecContext (which also contains codec options and
encoder/decoder state).
Some (de)muxers open additional files beyond the main IO context.
Currently, they call avio_open() directly, which prevents the caller
from using custom IO for such streams.
This commit adds callbacks to AVFormatContext that default to
avio_open2()/avio_close(), but can be overridden by the caller. All
muxers and demuxers using AVIO are switched to using those callbacks
instead of calling avio_open()/avio_close() directly.
(de)muxers that use the URLProtocol layer directly instead of AVIO
remain unconverted for now. This should be fixed in later commits.
This function returns the encoded data of a frame, one slice at a time
directly when that slice is encoded, instead of waiting for the full
frame to be done. However this field has a debatable usefulness, since
it looks like it is just a convoluted way to get data at lowest
possible latency, or a somewhat hacky way to store h263 in RFC-2190
rtp encapsulation.
Moreover when multi-threading is enabled (which is by default) the order
of returned slices is not deterministic at all, making the use of this
function not reliable at all (or at the very least, more complicated
than it should be).
So, for the reasons stated above, and being used by only a single encoder
family (mpegvideo), this field is deemed unnecessary, overcomplicated,
and not really belonging to libavcodec. Libavformat features a complete
implementation of RFC-2190, for any other case.

This side data type is meant to be added to AVStream side data.
A fallback track indicates an alternate track to use when the
current track can not be decoded for some reason. e.g. no
decoder available for codec.

Use the new fields directly instead of the ones from AVPicture.
This removes a layer of indirection which serves no pratical purpose
whatsoever, and will help in removing AVPicture structure completely
later.
Every subtitle encoder/decoder seamlessly points to the new arrays,
so it is possible to deprecate AVSubtitleRect.pict.

Note that convergence_duration had another meaning, one which was in
practice never used. The only real use for it was a 64 bit replacement
for the duration field. It's better just to make duration 64 bits, and
to get rid of it.

There is no practical benefit in having this structure elements
bit packed given the size of the structure and its usage.
Change types from uint16_t (packed) to plain int in order to simplify
modifying the structure and accessing its fields.

This is necessary to preserve the quality information currently exported
with coded_frame. Add the new side data to every encoder that needs it,
and use it in avconv.

This returns something like "v12_dev0-1332-g333a27c". This is much more
useful than the individual library versions, of which there are too
many, and which are very hard to map back to releases or git commits.

This is useful for client programs to ask for nv12 surfaces instead of the
current default (uyvy), since those are more efficient to decode to.

Move the lavc/imgconvert functions and rename them as follows:
avpicture_get_size -> av_image_get_buffer_size()
avpicture_fill -> av_image_fill_arrays()
avpicture_layout -> av_image_copy_to_buffer()
The new functions have an align parameter, which allows to define the
linesize alignment assumed in the buffer (which is set or read).
The names of the functions are consistent with the lavu/samples API
(av_samples_get_buffer_size(), av_samples_fill_arrays()).
A redundant check has been dropped from av_image_fill_arrays().

Since the VDPAU pixel format does not distinguish between different
VDPAU video surface chroma types, we need another way to pass this
data to the application.
Originally VDPAU in libavcodec only supported decoding to 8-bits YUV
with 4:2:0 chroma sampling. Correspondingly, applications assumed that
libavcodec expected VDP_CHROMA_TYPE_420 video surfaces for output.
However some of the new HEVC profiles proposed for addition to VDPAU
would require different depth and/or sampling:

...as would lossless AVC profiles:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/vdpau/2014-November/000241.html
To preserve backward binary compatibility with existing applications,
a new av_vdpau_bind_context() flag is introduced in a further change.

This carries the pixel format that would be used if it were not for

This is the same logic as is invoked on AVFMT_TS_NEGATIVE,
but which can be enabled manually, or can be enabled
in muxers which only need it in certain conditions.
Also allow using the same mechanism to force streams to start

Since av_gettime() is used in a number of places where actual
real time clock is required, the monotonic clock introduced in
ebef9f5a5 would have consequences that are hard to handle. Instead
split it into a separate function that can be used in the cases
where only relative time is desired.
On platform where no monotonic clock is available, the difference
between the two av_gettime functions is not clear, and one could
mistakenly use the relative clock where an absolute one is
required. Therefore add an offset, to make it evident that the
time returned from av_gettime_relative never is actual current
real time, even though it is based on av_gettime.
Based on a patch by Olivier Langlois.

When decoding, this field holds the inverse of the framerate that can be
written in the headers for some codecs. Using a field called 'time_base'
for this is very misleading, as there are no timestamps associated with
it. Furthermore, this field is used for a very different purpose during
encoding.
Add a new field, called 'framerate', to replace the use of time_base for
decoding.
Decoding acceleration may work even if the codec level is higher than
the stated limit of the VDPAU driver. Or the problem may be considered
acceptable by the user. This flag allows skipping the codec level
capability checks and proceed with decoding.
Applications should obviously not set this flag by default, but only if
the user explicitly requested this behavior (and presumably knows how
to turn it back off if it fails).

Currently, the amount of padding inserted at the beginning by some audio
encoders, is exported through AVCodecContext.delay. However
- the term 'delay' is heavily overloaded and can have multiple different
meanings even in the case of audio encoding.
- this field has entirely different meanings, depending on whether the
codec context is used for encoding or decoding (and has yet another
different meaning for video), preventing generic handling of the codec
context.
Therefore, add a new field -- AVCodecContext.initial_padding. It could
conceivably be used for decoding as well at a later point.
This function provides an explicit VDPAU device and VDPAU driver to
libavcodec, so that the application is relieved from codec specifics
and VdpDevice life cycle management.
A stub flags parameter is added for future extension. For instance, it
could be used to ignore codec level capabilities (if someone feels
dangerous).

In order to support metadata being set as an option, it's necessary to be able
to set dictionaries as values.
Signed-off-by: Anton Khirnov <anton@khirnov.net>
The only flags, for now, indicate if metadata was updated and are set after each call to
av_read_frame(). This comes with the caveat that, on stream start, it might not be set properly
as packets might be buffered in AVFormatContext.packet_buffer before being given to the user
in av_read_frame().

It allows attaching other external, opaque data to the frame and passing it
through the reordering process, for cases when the caller wants other data
than just the plain packet pts. There is no way to cleanly achieve this
without the field.
The rationale is that you have a packed format in form
<greyscale sample> <alpha sample> <greyscale sample> <alpha sample>
and shortening greyscale to 'G' might make one thing about Greenscale instead.
An alias pixel format and color space name are provided for compatibility.
