[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 19/25] avcodec/v4l2_m2m_dec: fix dropped packets while decoding

[Aman Gupta]

From: Maxime Jourdan <mjourdan at baylibre.com>

* FFmpeg retrieves a packet from the bitstream
* It attempts to get an input buffer (from its own list or by dequeuing one from the driver)
* If no input buffer is found, the bitstream packet is dropped instead of scheduled for trying again later

It's an issue that showed especially at high speeds (like using `-f null -` as output parameters).
