[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avfilter: add http video filter.

[Nicolas George]

Alex (12020-09-11):
> This filter has options: url and content-type header for requests and it's not hardcoded.

The format for the parameters is hard-coded.

> Format and resolution can be changed after this filter later in filter
> graph, it's not a job for this filter, for example:

It is a job for this filter if the external processing requires it. As
it is, the external processing must return frames with the same format
and resolution as its input, which is a completely unacceptable
limitation.

> For my opportunity this filter open door for postprocess frames outside of ffmpeg

We do not accept patches for somebody's opportunity. Patches need to be
generic enough to work for many people. The hard-coding of HTTP, the
hard-coding of the parameters passing, the arbitrary limitations make
this unacceptable.

The sooner you accept it and start thinking more globally, the sooner
you can consider making something that would be accepted. I have given
an indication: what you need a movie sink.

Regards,
