These fields are supposed to store information about the packet the
frame was decoded from, specifically the byte offset it was stored at
and its size.
However,
- the fields are highly ad-hoc - there is no strong reason why
specifically those (and not any other) packet properties should have a
dedicated field in AVFrame; unlike e.g. the timestamps, there is no
fundamental link between coded packet offset/size and decoded frames
- they only make sense for frames produced by decoding demuxed packets,
and even then it is not always the case that the encoded data was
stored in the file as a contiguous sequence of bytes (in order for pos
to be well-defined)
- pkt_pos was added without much explanation, apparently to allow
passthrough of this information through lavfi in order to handle byte
seeking in ffplay. That is now implemented using arbitrary user data
passthrough in AVFrame.opaque_ref.
- several filters use pkt_pos as a variable available to user-supplied
expressions, but there seems to be no established motivation for using them.
- pkt_size was added for use in ffprobe, but that too is now handled
without using this field. Additonally, the values of this field
produced by libavcodec are flawed, as described in the previous
ffprobe conversion commit.
In summary - these fields are ill-defined and insufficiently motivated,
so deprecate them.
This has not been functional since a year ago, including in our current
minimum dependency of libplacebo (v4.192.0). It also causes build errors
against libplacebo v6, so it needs to be removed from the code. We can
keep the option around for now, but it should also be removed soon.

Remove doc/dev_communit markup files completely as they are at the wrong place.
Create a new community page, merging all of doc/dev_community and subsection Code of Conduct into a common place.
The corresponding patch to ffmpeg-web puts the Organisation & Code of Conduct into a seperate community chapter on the FFmpeg website.

Their usefulness is questionable, very few decoders set them, and their type
should have been int64_t. A replacement field can be added later if a valid use
case is found.

Frame counters can overflow relatively easily (INT_MAX number of frames is
slightly more than 1 year for 60 fps content), so make sure we use 64 bit
values for them.
Also deprecate the old 32 bit frame_number attribute.

Many filters accept user-provided data that is cumbersome to provide as
text strings - e.g. binary files or very long text. For that reason such
filters typically provide a option whose value is the path from which
the filter loads the actual data.
However, filters doing their own IO internally is a layering violation
that the callers may not expect, and is thus best avoided. With the
recently introduced graph segment parsing API, loading option values
from files can now be handled by the caller.
This commit makes use of the new API in ffmpeg CLI. Any option name in
the filtergraph syntax can now be prefixed with a slash '/'. This will
cause ffmpeg to interpret the value as the path to load the actual value
from.
Callers currently have two ways of adding filters to a graph - they can
either
- create, initialize, and link them manually
- use one of the avfilter_graph_parse*() functions, which take a
(typically end-user-written) string, split it into individual filter
definitions+options, then create filters, apply options, initialize
filters, and finally link them - all based on information from this
string.
A major problem with the second approach is that it performs many
actions as a single atomic unit, leaving the caller no space to
intervene in between. Such intervention would be useful e.g. to
- modify filter options;
- supply hardware device contexts;
both of which typically must be done before the filter is initialized.
Callers who need such intervention are then forced to invent their own
filtergraph parsing, which is clearly suboptimal.
This commit aims to address this problem by adding a new modular
filtergraph parsing API. It adds a new avfilter_graph_segment_parse()
function to parse a string filtergraph description into an intermediate
tree-like representation (AVFilterGraphSegment and its children).
This intermediate form may then be applied step by step using further
new avfilter_graph_segment*() functions, with user intervention possible
between each step.
This script generates the current general assembly voters according to
the criteria of '20 commits in the last 36 months'.
