[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avfilter/vf_libplacebo: fix possible segfault when frame mixing (PR #20211)

[Niklas Haas]

PR #20211 opened by Niklas Haas (haasn)
URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20211
Patch URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20211.patch

pl_frame_mix_current() will return NULL if all frames are in the future,
but when libplacebo is using a frame mixer with a radius greater than 1,
future frames are expected to already be partially renderered. Instead, use
pl_frame_mix_nearest(), which is guaranteed to give us a valid frame for any
nonempty frame mix.

Fixes: 3091bca3edb339a4d2ec8c64e52fa7e67a7d5005
