[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 02/18] avformat/webvttdec: add support for HLS WebVTT MPEG timestamp maps

[Anssi Hannula]

WebVTT subtitle files in HLS streams contain a header to synchronize the
subtitles with the MPEG TS timestamps of the HLS stream.

Add an AVOption to prefer MPEG TS style timestamps generated according
to the mapping header, if available.
