[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] image2 decoder: Add support for -skip_initial_bytes

[Thomas Newton]

Relevant questions from the patch submission checklist:
Explanation why it changes things like it does:
Sometimes input data may have custom headers that ffmpeg is not expected to
understand. It seems to me, this is why `-skip_initial_bytes` exists. From
the documentation it sounds like this option should be supported on all
muxers and demuxers but it doesn't seem to work with image2.

Summary of user visible advantages:
Users wanting to use the image2 format for files with custom headers can
now do just that.

Example using this change:
`ffmpeg -y -skip_initial_bytes 32 -f image2 -c:v rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb24
-s:v 64x64 -ts_from_file 2 -pattern_type glob -i "*.RGB8" output.mp4`
>From within the example.zip I've attached. This zip file also
includes `expected_output.mp4` for what the output should look like and
`corrupt_output.mp4` for what I get without this patch.

The patch contect itself:
---
Add support for -skip_initial_bytes when using the image2 decoder.
skip_initial_bytes is useful when the input data contains a custom header.
Previously this was not supported when using the image2 format.
