[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavformat: Segfault on Apple HTTP Livestream playlist with unavailable hosts

That seems wrong: there are a lot of places that dereference iformat
unconditionally, thus it seems that it being not null is implicitly part of
the API.

According to your ticket :

I believe free_variant_list is wrong to call avformat_close_input on format
contexts that have not been properly opened.

I am not a specialist of applehttp, though, nor of anything with "apple" in
it which does not involve food.
