[FFmpeg-devel] Merge from ffmpeg 1.1.3 to 2.1.2 port for CE

[Hermann, Sven (SCR US)]

Thanks for the hint with the list, you might be right.
Well I am fairly certain that the AVPacket is correct since it was working just fine with 1.1.3.  However maybe there are new requirements in 2.1.2 I don't know of and have not set the correct flags?
I also agree with you that even if the packet is corrupted, it should not crash. That's why I thought I choose this list. I kinda suspect the issue somewhere else as well. Looking at h264.c and the said functions, they are not fundamentally different. So I am really on a cross roads here. What to do next?

But since I am cross compiling with a terrible Cygwin and Visual Studio setup this is rather painful. However, I could trace it all the way down to decode_nal_units() in h264.c (I am debugging the H264 decoder first).

I have some doubts this is the best list, this one seems more
appropriate: https://lists.ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/libav-user/
However the number of errors you get mean that the decoder almost certainly gets broken data.
Are you sure you pass in a valid AVPacket? Either straight from avformat or if manually created after all the necessary stuff like av_init_packet and setting data, size and flags?
(Note that it still should not crash no matter how broken the input data, but maybe if you find the cause of the one it will explain the other) _______________________________________________
