[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavcodec: v4l2m2m: allow lower minimum buffer values

[Lukas Rusak]

There is no reason to enforce a high minimum. In the context
of streaming only a few output buffers and capture buffers
are even needed for continuous playback. This also helps
alleviate memory pressure when decoding 4K media.
