[Libav-user] Is there any way to programmatically get ffmpeg decoding error count or callbacks?

You can catch log messages, or create decoder with option
err_detect=explode (or other value, consult with decoder source code),
which will result in decoding failure instead of surviving the error.
Of course you may proceed to decode after failure, you are not
required to restart everything after that.
