[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 4/4] avcodec/videotoolbox: fix decoding of some hevc videos

[Aman Gupta]

From: Aman Gupta <aman at tmm1.net>

See https://s3.amazonaws.com/tmm1/videotoolbox/germany-hevc-zdf.ts

Although videotoolbox_buffer_create() sets frame->hw_frames_ctx,
by the time videotoolbox_postproc_frame() is called, some frames
randomly have frame->hw_frames_ctx == NULL. I don't really
understand what's going on, and why this only affects some frames
and only in some hevc videos.

This patch attempts to detect the missing hw_frames_ctx and reset
it in the post_process callback. This is obviously a huge hack, but
it does fix playback of the affected samples.
