The seek function can just return an error if seeking is unavailable,
but often this is too late. Add a flag that signals that the stream is
unseekable, and use it in HLS.
It was sort of optional before - if you didn't call it, networking was
initialized on demand, and an ugly warning was logged. Also, the doxygen
comments threatened that it would be made strictly required one day.
Make it explicitly optional. I would prefer to deprecate it fully, but
there might still be legitimate reasons to use this. But the average
user won't need it.
This is needed only for two reasons: to initialize TLS libraries like
OpenSSL and GnuTLS, and winsock.
OpenSSL and GnuTLS were already silently initialized on demand if the
global network init function was not called. They also have various
thread-safety acrobatics, which make concurrent initialization within
libavformat safe. In addition, the libraries are moving towards making
their global init functions safe, which removes all need for central
global init. In particular, GnuTLS 3.5.16 and OpenSSL 1.1.0g have been
found to have safe init functions. In all cases, they use internal
reference counters to avoid that the global uninit functions interfere
with concurrent uses of the library by other API users who called global
init.
winsock should be thread-safe as well, and maintains an internal
reference counter as well.
Since we still support ancient TLS libraries, which do not have this
fixed, and since it's unknown whether winsock and GnuTLS
reinitialization is costly in any way, don't deprecate the libavformat
functions yet.
Deprecate the entire library. Merged years ago to provide compatibility
with Libav, it remained unmaintained by the FFmpeg project and duplicated
functionality provided by libswresample.
In order to improve consistency and reduce attack surface, as well as to ease
burden on maintainers, it has been deprecated. Users of this library are asked
to migrate to libswresample, which, as well as providing more functionality,
is faster and has higher accuracy.

Use static mutexes instead of requiring a lock manager. The behavior
should be roughly the same before and after this change for API users
which did not set the lock manager at all (except that a minor memory
leak disappears).
Explicitly identify decoder/encoder wrappers with a common name. This
saves API users from guessing by the name suffix. For example, they
don't have to guess that "h264_qsv" is the h264 QSV implementation, and
instead they can just check the AVCodec .codec and .wrapper_name fields.
Explicitly mark AVCodec entries that are hardware decoders or most
likely hardware decoders with new AV_CODEC_CAPs. The purpose is allowing
API users listing hardware decoders in a more generic way. The proposed
AVCodecHWConfig does not provide this information fully, because it's
concerned with decoder configuration, not information about the fact
whether the hardware is used or not.
AV_CODEC_CAP_HYBRID exists specifically for QSV, which can have software
implementations in case the hardware is not capable.
Based on a patch by Philip Langdale <philipl@overt.org>.
Merges Libav commit 47687a2f8a.
This was added in early 2013 and abandoned several months later; as far as
I can tell, there are no external users. Future OpenCL use will be via
hwcontext, which requires neither special OpenCL-only API nor global state
in libavutil.
All internal users are also deleted - this is just the unsharp filter
(replaced by unsharp_opencl, which is more flexible) and the deshake filter
(no replacement).
This adds a new API, which allows the API user to query the required
AVHWFramesContext parameters. This also reduces code duplication across
the hwaccels by introducing ff_decode_get_hw_frames_ctx(), which uses
the new API function. It takes care of initializing the hw_frames_ctx
if needed, and does additional error handling and API usage checking.
Support for VDA and Cuvid missing.

Before this commit, AVIOContext is to be freed with a plain av_free(),

Black isn't always just memset(ptr, 0, size). Limited YUV in particular
requires relatively non-obvious values, and filling a frame with
repeating 0 bytes is disallowed in some contexts. With component sizes
larger than 8 or packed YUV, this can become relatively complicated. So
having a generic function for this seems helpful.
In order to handle the complex cases in a generic way without destroying
performance, this code attempts to compute a black pixel, and then uses
that value to clear the image data quickly by using a function like
memset.
Common cases like yuv410p10 or rgba can't be handled with a simple
memset, so there is some code to fill memory with 2/4/8 byte patterns.
For the remaining cases, a generic slow fallback is used.

This also adds support to avconv (which is trivial due to the new
hwaccel API being generic enough).
The new decoder setup code in dxva2.c is significantly based on work by
Steve Lhomme <robux4@gmail.com>, but with heavy changes/rewrites.
Merges Libav commit f9e7a2f95a.
Also adds untested VP9 support.
The check for DXVA2 COBJs is removed. Just update your MinGW to
something newer than a 5 year old release.

To be used with the new d3d11 hwaccel decode API.
With the new hwaccel API, we don't want surfaces to depend on the
decoder (other than the required dimension and format). The old D3D11VA
pixfmt uses ID3D11VideoDecoderOutputView pointers, which include the
decoder configuration, and thus is incompatible with the new hwaccel
API. This patch introduces AV_PIX_FMT_D3D11, which uses ID3D11Texture2D
and an index. It's simpler and compatible with the new hwaccel API.
The introduced hwcontext supports only the new pixfmt.
Frame upload code untested.

Use the flags argument of av_hwframe_ctx_create_derived() to pass the
mapping flags which will be used on allocation. Also, set the format
and hardware context on the allocated frame automatically - the user
should not be required to do this themselves.
