In vaapi_vp9_start_frame() of libavcodec/vaapi_vp9.c, it only passes 
VASurfaceID into pic_param.reference_frames[i].

But when destroy va_context, the surface/render target based on this 
VASurfaceID has been destroyed.

So the new va_context cannot find the corresponding surface based on 
this surface ID.

IMHO, one possible solution is to create one the VA surfaces including 
VP9Context.s.refs[] data which is AVFrame in fact and pass them into 
libva when re-creating new va_context.

Thanks.

As my understanding, you decoding output should be 495x168 always for 
every frame. Right?

When the resolution of the decoded frame is different with the first 
frame, the scaling is fired.

The scaling should come from media driver VP pipeline because ffmpeg use 
vaGetImage() to get decoded frame.

This is dependent on ffmpeg requirement. If ffmpeg hopes to get original 
decoded frame, this behavior should be changed.

Thanks.
