Hi Andrey,

That patch was not pushed due to some objections. I have submitted a new patch set addressing it. 
http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2018-December/237121.html
Could you please try the above patchset and confirm if everything works as expected?

Regards,
Karthick

These errors are present regardless of the global_sidx flag or your movenc patch. Do you have an idea what could be causing them?
