[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 4/7] avfilter/avfilter: simplify processing sinks without activate callback

Marton Balint cus at passwd.hu
Tue Jun 17 01:43:54 EEST 2025


Sinks without an activate callback (nullsink, anullsink) could cause
AVERROR(EAGAIN)-s in avfilter_graph_request_oldest() even when all the filter
graphs inputs were in EOF state.

Fixes ticket #11624.
Fixes ticket #10988.
Fixes ticket #10990.
