[Libav-user] Missing reference picture

[Rikhardur Einarsson (Hangar 13 Games)]

Hi there,

So I am currently trying to decode a video that I encoded myself through the use of the library,
after I have sent some packets and received some frames it eventually starts spitting out errors like this

Missing reference picture, default is 65548

This error is printed 4 times right after the call to avcodec_send_packet
Every subsequent call to avcodec_send_packet also prints this error except the number has been incremented by 8.

There are some other errors that get printed later after 200-300 of the missing reference ones but I assume they are a symptom of this one.

(examples of these would be "mmco: unref short failure", "pps_id 3199971767 out of range", "Invalid NAL unit 17, skipping.", "slice type 32 too large at 31195135", "decode_slice_header error", "no frame!", "illegal POC type 4" and "too many reference frames 32")

Full log until first error:
