[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/5] avcodec: Add new side data type to contain original PTS value

[Devin Heitmueller]

In order to properly process SCTE-35 packets, we need the original
PTS value from the demux (i.e. not mangled by the application or
reclocked for the output).  This allows us to set the pts_adjustment
field in an BSF on the output side.

Introduce a new side data type to store the original PTS.
