[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] avcodec: add YUV color space metadata to AVCodec

[Niklas Haas]

It would make me happy if we could get this API addition in before 7.0,
even though it's non-functional on its own, as it sets the groundwork to
be able to start properly deprecating YUVJ.

After this series, the next steps are:

1. Make decoders stop outputting YUVJ frames
2. Mark the actual YUVJ pixel formats as deprecated, add a removal API
   define, and guard internal usages by AV_NOWARN_DEPRECATED
3. After sufficient time passes, remove YUVJ formats fully

I have a branch prepared for each.
