[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avdevice/avdevice: Deprecate AVDevice Capabilities API

[Diederick C. Niehorster]

Hi All,

If instead of the various separate patch series i have sent the last
few days, you would like to see one integrated series where all are
applied on top of each other and conflicts resolves, please see all
the commits ahead of master (currently 22) on the develop branch here:
https://github.com/dcnieho/ffmpeg/tree/develop

In making this branch, i have also done some small refactoring, and
fixed some issues i came across in my implementation.

As said before, I hope one of you can advise me on how to submit all
this (one big series so it all applies cleanly?). The brunt is letting
dshow provide more information about what video data  it provides, and
especially making it way more controllable programmatically/through
the API. It is now at a point where i can use ffmpeg/dshow as a
backend to flexible, reconfigurable use of e.g. a webcam. Exciting to
me:)

All the best,
Dee
