It is supposed to be a flag. The only currently defined value is
AVIO_SEEKABLE_NORMAL, but other ones may be added in the future.
However all the current lavf code treats this field as a bool (mainly
for historical reasons).
Change all those cases to properly check for AVIO_SEEKABLE_NORMAL.
Previously, we used a different list of checks when deciding whether to
write a set of tags at all than we did when deciding whether to write an
individual tag in the set. This resulted in sometimes writing an empty
tag master and seekhead. Now we use mkv_check_tag_name everywhere, so
if a dictionary is entirely composed of tags we skip, we don't write a
tag master at all.
This affected the test file, since "language" was on one list but not
the other, so we were writing an empty tag master there. The test hash
is updated to reflect that change.
Rev #2: Fixes doubled header writing, checked FATE running without errors
Rev #3: Fixed coding style
This commit addresses the following scenario:
we are using ffmpeg to transcode or remux mkv (or something else) to mkv. The result is being streamed on-the-fly to an HTML5 client (streaming starts while ffmpeg is still running). The problem here is that the client is unable to detect the duration because the duration is only written to the mkv at the end of the transcoding/remoxing process. In matroskaenc.c, the duration is only written during mkv_write_trailer but not during mkv_write_header.
The approach:
FFMPEG is currently putting quite some effort to estimate the durations of source streams, but in many cases the source stream durations are still left at 0 and these durations are nowhere mapped to or used for output streams. As much as I would have liked to deduct or estimate output durations based on input stream durations - I realized that this is a hard task (as Nicolas already mentioned in a previous conversation). It would involve changes to the duration calculation/estimation/deduction for input streams and propagating these durations to output streams or the output context in a correct way.
So I looked for a simple and small solution with better chances to get accepted. In webmdashenc.c I found that a duration is written during write_header and this duration is taken from the streams' metadata, so I decided for a similar approach.
And here's what it does:
At first it is checking the duration of the AVFormatContext. In typical cases this value is not set, but: It is set in cases where the user has specified a recording_time or an end_time via the -t or -to parameters.
Then it is looking for a DURATION metadata field in the metadata of the output context (AVFormatContext::metadata). This would only exist in case the user has explicitly specified a metadata DURATION value from the command line.
Then it is iterating all streams looking for a "DURATION" metadata (this works unless the option "-map_metadata -1" has been specified) and determines the maximum value.
The precendence is as follows: 1. Use duration of AVFormatContext - 2. Use explicitly specified metadata duration value - 3. Use maximum (mapped) metadata duration over all streams.
To test this:
1. With explicit recording time:
ffmpeg -i file:"src.mkv" -loglevel debug -t 01:38:36.000 -y "dest.mkv"
2. Take duration from metadata specified via command line parameters:
ffmpeg -i file:"src.mkv" -loglevel debug -map_metadata -1 -metadata Duration="01:14:33.00" -y "dest.mkv"
3. Take duration from mapped input metadata:
ffmpeg -i file:"src.mkv" -loglevel debug -y "dest.mkv"
Regression risk:
Very low IMO because it only affects the header while ffmpeg is still running. When ffmpeg completes the process, the duration is rewritten to the header with the usual value (same like without this commit).

Currently, AVStream contains an embedded AVCodecContext instance, which
is used by demuxers to export stream parameters to the caller and by
muxers to receive stream parameters from the caller. It is also used
internally as the codec context that is passed to parsers.
In addition, it is also widely used by the callers as the decoding (when
demuxer) or encoding (when muxing) context, though this has been
officially discouraged since Libav 11.
There are multiple important problems with this approach:
- the fields in AVCodecContext are in general one of
* stream parameters
* codec options
* codec state
However, it's not clear which ones are which. It is consequently
unclear which fields are a demuxer allowed to set or a muxer allowed to
read. This leads to erratic behaviour depending on whether decoding or
encoding is being performed or not (and whether it uses the AVStream
embedded codec context).
- various synchronization issues arising from the fact that the same
context is used by several different APIs (muxers/demuxers,
parsers, bitstream filters and encoders/decoders) simultaneously, with
there being no clear rules for who can modify what and the different
processes being typically delayed with respect to each other.
- avformat_find_stream_info() making it necessary to support opening
and closing a single codec context multiple times, thus
complicating the semantics of freeing various allocated objects in the
codec context.
Those problems are resolved by replacing the AVStream embedded codec
context with a newly added AVCodecParameters instance, which stores only
the stream parameters exported by the demuxers or read by the muxers.
"language" is not an offical matroska tag.
Track languages are specified with the MATROSKA_ID_TRACKLANGUAGE ebml.
Writing the tag overrides the ebml specified language during playback with
libav and some other players.

Note that convergence_duration had another meaning, one which was in
practice never used. The only real use for it was a 64 bit replacement
for the duration field. It's better just to make duration 64 bits, and
to get rid of it.
