[Ffmpeg-devel] [PATCH] do not probe AVFMT_NOFILE formats if file is already opened

[Reimar Döffinger]

Hello,
I am not sure about the supposed behaviour, but currently when calling
av_probe_input_format with is_opened == 1 the img2 demuxer will try to
substitute %d and open the resulting file names.
IMO it would be more desirable (and fixes a crash with mplayer) not to
try any demuxers that will open a file when is_opened == 1, as attached
patch does.
Also, after deciding about the supposed semantics, I would propose renaming
AVFMT_NOFILE to something that gives at least some hint about what it is
supposed to mean, the comment for it is just as stupid: "/* no file
should be opened */" well, obviously somewhen a "file" must be opened, so
is the comment supposed to mean no file should be opened by the caller,
or by the demuxer or...

Greetings,
Reimar D?ffinger
