[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v3] avformat/dhav: fix backward scanning for get_duration and optimize seeking

[Derek Buitenhuis]

From: Justin Ruggles <justinr at vimeo.com>

The backwards scanning done for incomplete final packets should not
assume a specific alignment at the end of the file. Truncated files
result in hundreds of thousands of seeks if the final packet does not
fall on a specific byte boundary, which can be extremely slow.
For example, with HTTP, each backwards seek results in a separate
HTTP request.

This changes the scanning to check for the end tag 1 byte at a time
and buffers the last 1 MiB using ffio_ensure_seekback to avoid additional
seek operations.
