[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 04/12] avcodec/avcodec: add AVCodecContext.alpha_mode

Niklas Haas ffmpeg at haasn.xyz
Wed Feb 19 22:45:40 EET 2025


From: Niklas Haas <git at haasn.dev>

Following in the footsteps of the previous commit, this commit adds the
new fields to AVCodecContext so we can start properly setting it on codecs,
as well as limiting the list of supported options to detect a format mismatch
during encode.

This commit also sets up the necessary infrastructure to start using the
newly added field in all codecs.
