This does not really belong here, you are documenting the image2 
*demuxer*'s behaviour of setting source_basename and source_path metadata 
fields.

The only thing that might be relevant here is that the metadata can not
only come from filters but from demuxers as well.

Also since the metadata names are demuxer specific probably it is 
better to use hierarchical names, like "lavf.image2dec.source_path" and 
"lavf.image2dec.source_basename", similar to how the filters set their 
custom metadata fields.

The example can stay as is, that is fine.

No need to make it part of the header.

This can be made static.

Cosmetics/nitpicking, a separate if and the usual way of checking for 
errors is more readable IMHO:

if (!s->is_pipe) {
     res = add_filename_as_pkt_side_data(filename, pkt);
     if (res < 0)
         goto fail;
}

Thanks,
