[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/utils: Fix find_stream_info not considering the extradata it found

[Anssi Hannula]

Commit 9200514ad8717c6 ("lavf: replace AVStream.codec with
AVStream.codecpar") merged in commit 6f69f7a8bf6a0d01 changed
avformat_find_stream_info() to put the extradata it got from
st->parser->parser->split() to avctx instead of st->codec.

However, in the same function, the "is stream ready?" check was changed
to check for extradata in st->codecpar instead of st->codec.

Extradata retrieved from split() is therefore not considered anymore,
and avformat_find_stream_info() will therefore needlessly continue
probing in some cases.

Fix that by putting the extradata in st->codecpar, from where it will be
copied to avctx at the end of avformat_find_stream_info() along with
all other parameters.

---

I'm not overly familiar with this code, so review accordingly :)

This can be reproduced e.g. with a simple sample generated with
"ffmpeg -t 20 -f lavfi -i cellauto out.ts", where ffprobe will analyze
for 7 seconds (mpegts max_stream_analyze_duration) instead of the
expected 5 seconds (max_analyze_duration).

The difference will be more dramatic with streams that trigger the
"stop find_stream_info from waiting for more streams when all programs
have received a PMT" check in mpegts demuxer.
