[Libav-user] libavformat/protocol_list.c ?

[Mahboud Zabetian]

Very helpful, thank you.

I'm updating old code that uses ffurl_register_protocol - I think it might
be 5 years old.  I'm replacing ffmpeg 3.03 with 3.4.  I'm very much hoping
that I won't run into any other major changes, since that will probably
mean some regression.  Any tips and pointers would be much appreciated.
