It was added in cb114ed464 with the comment
"This will allow fixing several bugs with the -shortest option".
Since
* there is no explanation of what these bugs are
* libavformat is not the place to work around ffmpeg CLI bugs
* there is no indication that this feature is actually in use
deprecate it without replacement.
Deprecated in d682ae70b4,
ineffective since ca4df37f06.

Allows user to set maximum number of buffered packets when

A generic lavf flag for AAC LATM packetization for the RTP muxer was
added in ef409645f0 and then made inert 20 days later in 0832122880
when a private muxer option was added and the generic flag no longer
read.
For seekable mpegts streams, duration is calculated from
pts by seeking to the end of the file for a pts and subtracting
the initial pts to compute a duration.
This can be expensive in terms of added latency during
probe, especially when streaming over a network. This new
option lets you skip the duration calculation, which is useful
when you don't care about the value and want to save some overhead.
This patch is particularly useful when dealing with live mpegts
streams. Normally such streams are not seekable, so durations
are not calculated. However in my case I am dealing with a seekable
live mpegts stream (networked access to a .ts file which is still
being appended to).

Every bitstream filter behaves as intended now, so there's no need to

It has no effect whatsoever since the major bump.
Replace the flag's documentation to reflect this as well.

If flushing is not disabled, then mux.c will signal the end of the packets with
an AVIO_DATA_MARKER_FLUSH_POINT, and aviobuf will be able to decide to flush or
not based on the preferred minimum packet size set by the used protocol.

This patch deprecates anything that has to do with merging/splitting
side data. Automatic side data merging (and splitting), as well as all
API symbols involved in it, are removed completely.
Two FF_API_ defines are dedicated to deprecating API symbols related to
this: FF_API_MERGE_SD_API removes av_packet_split/merge_side_data in
libavcodec, and FF_API_LAVF_KEEPSIDE_FLAG deprecates
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA in libavformat.
Since it was claimed that changing the default from merging side data to
not doing it is an ABI change, there are two additional FF_API_ defines,
which stop using the side data merging/splitting by default (and remove
any code in avformat/avcodec doing this): FF_API_MERGE_SD in libavcodec,
and FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD in libavformat.
It is very much intended that FF_API_MERGE_SD and FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD
are quickly defined to 0 in the next ABI bump, while the API symbols are
retained for a longer time for the sake of compatibility.
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA will (very much intentionally) do nothing for
most of the time it will still be defined. Keep in mind that no code
exists that actually tries to unset this flag for any reason, nor does
such code need to exist. Code setting this flag explicitly will work as
before. Thus it's ok for AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA to do nothing once
side data merging has been removed from libavformat.
In order to avoid that anyone in the future does this incorrectly, here
is a small guide how to update the internal code on bumps:
- next ABI bump (probably soon):
- define FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD to 0, and remove all code covered by it
- define FF_API_MERGE_SD to 0, and remove all code covered by it
- next API bump (typically two years in the future or so):
- define FF_API_LAVF_KEEPSIDE_FLAG to 0, and remove all code covered
by it
- define FF_API_MERGE_SD_API to 0, and remove all code covered by it
This forces anyone who actually wants packet side data to temporarily
use deprecated API to get it all. If you ask me, this is batshit fucked
up crazy, but it's how we roll. Making AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA to be
set by default was rejected as an ABI change, so I'm going all the way
to get rid of this once and for all.

This is mostly useful for muxers that wrap other muxers, such as dashenc
and segment. The actual duplicated bitstream filtering is largely harmless,
but delaying the header can cause problems when the muxer intended the header
to be written to a separate file.
It is only used in a boolean context. Also clarify its documentation.

Note to maintainers: update tools
Note to maintainers: set a default whitelist for your protocol
If that makes no sense then consider to set "none" and thus require the user to specify a white-list
for sub-protocols to be opened

This is the same logic as is invoked on AVFMT_TS_NEGATIVE,
but which can be enabled manually, or can be enabled
in muxers which only need it in certain conditions.
Also allow using the same mechanism to force streams to start
at 0.

This allows restricting demuxers to a list of needed ones for improved security
Note, some demuxers themselfs open other demuxers, these are only restricted if
AVOptions are forwarded to them. Please check that your code does that.

Currently probesize is cliped at 1mb before being used for format detection.
Alternatively this cliping could be removed but this would then tie various
things like stream analysis to the file detection.

Use it instead of checking CODEC_FLAG_BITEXACT in the first stream's
codec context.
Using codec options inside lavf is fragile and can easily break when the
muxing codec context is not the encoding context.
For muxing, it accepts
both 0 and AV_NOPTS_VALUE. For demuxing, it will present
AV_NOPTS_VALUE when start_time_realtime is unknown.

Currently ff_interleave_packet_per_dts() waits until it gets a frame for
each stream before outputting packets in interleaved order.
Sparse streams (i.e. streams with much fewer packets than the other
streams, like subtitles or audio with DTX) tend to add up latency and in
specific cases end up allocating a large amount of memory.
Emit the top packet from the packet_buffer if it has a time delta
larger than a specified threshold.

The flag was and is intended to be a sane default and thus does not enable
time consuming checks. This also matches how the flag is used in decoders and
demuxers.
