Anton Khirnov 46cbe4ab5c fftools/cmdutils: split stream specifier parsing and matching
This approach has the major advantage that only parsing can fail (due to
a malformed specifier or memory allocation failure). Since parsing is
done generically, while matching is per-option, this will allow to
remove substantial amounts of error checking code in following commits.

The new code also explicitly allows stream specifiers to be followed by
additional characters, which should allow cleaner handling of optional
maps, i.e. -map <stream_specifier>?, which is currently implemented in a
hacky way that breaks when the stream specifier itself contains the '?'
character (this can happen when matching metadata). It will also allow
further extending the syntax, which will be useful in following commits.

This introduces some minor behaviour changes:
* Matching metadata tags now requires the ':' character in keys or
  values to be escaped. Previously it could not be present in keys, and
  would be used verbatim in values. The change is required in order to
  know where the value terminates.
* Multiple stream types in a single specifier are now rejected - such a
  specifier makes no sense.
* Non-existent stream group ID or index is now ignored with a warning
  rather than causing a failure. This is consistent with program
  handling and is required to make matching fail-free.

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.

Documentation

The offline documentation is available in the doc/ directory.

The online documentation is available in the main website and in the wiki.

Examples
