[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/2] Remove SDL2 output devices

With the addition of threading in ffmpeg.c, the SDL2 devices no longer have the
'main' thread. This means that both the SDL2 and OpenGL output device are broken
in master. Rather than attempting to fix it, they should be removed instead as
there are better alternatives for debugging or viewing streams.

The 'pipe:' output can be used with a real video player such as mpv, vlc, or
even ffplay. For cases where the user was an application using the API they
should supply their own renderer.

  avdevice: remove sdl2 outdev
  avdevice: remove OpenGL device
