please elaborate on what you exactly want here

yes, this will need some changes, iam not completely sure though how to
best activate AVBistreamFilters automatically, with AVParsers its easy as
each codec has exactly one parser but with AVBistreamFilters its codec+
container which decide on a default filter and the user might want to
have further filters in the chain ...

In the past you could go to a library and read, borrow or copy any book
Today you'd get arrested for mere telling someone where the library is
