[FFmpeg-devel] [RFC][PATCH 1/2] lavfi/src_movie: Check pointer is not NULL before deref

[Alexander Strasser]

Also do not check against empty string, the lower levels should
be able to deal with it.

In my testing the empty filename just failed to open
as expected.

The other case that was not checked happens if you
do not provide any filename option (not even empty)
at all. This fails now with filname not provided.
