-stream_loop is currently handled by destroying the demuxer thread,
seeking, then recreating it anew. This is very messy and conflicts with
the future goal of moving each major ffmpeg component into its own
thread.
Handle -stream_loop directly in the demuxer thread. Looping requires the
demuxer to know the duration of the file, which takes into account the
duration of the last decoded audio frame (if any). Use a thread message
queue to communicate this information from the main thread to the
demuxer thread.
This avoids a potential race with the demuxer adding new streams. It is
also more efficient, since we no longer do inter-thread transfers of
packets that will be just discarded.
This undocumented feature runtime-enables dumping input packets. I can
think of no reasonable real-world use case that cannot also be
accomplished in a different way. Keeping this functionality would
interfere with the following commit moving it to the input thread (then
setting the variable would require locking or atomics, which would be
unnecessarily complicated for a feature that probably nobody uses).
There are currently three possible modes for an output stream:
1) The stream is produced by encoding output from some filtergraph. This
is true when ost->enc_ctx != NULL, or equivalently when
ost->encoding_needed != 0.
2) The stream is produced by copying some input stream's packets. This
is true when ost->enc_ctx == NULL && ost->source_index >= 0.
3) The stream is produced by attaching some file directly. This is true
when ost->enc_ctx == NULL && ost->source_index < 0.
OutputStream.stream_copy is currently used to identify case 2), and
sometimes to confusingly (or even incorrectly) identify case 1). Remove
it, replacing its usage with checking enc_ctx/source_index values.
Usually a HW decoder is expected when user specifies a HW acceleration
method via -hwaccel option, however the current implementation doesn't
take HW acceleration method into account, it is possible to select a SW
decoder.
For example:
$ ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -i av1.mp4 -f null -
$ ffmpeg -hwaccel nvdec -i av1.mp4 -f null -
$ ffmpeg -hwaccel vdpau -i av1.mp4 -f null -
[...]
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (av1 (libdav1d) -> wrapped_avframe (native))
libdav1d is selected in this case even if vaapi, nvdec or vdpau is
specified.
After applying this patch, the native av1 decoder (with vaapi, nvdec or
vdpau support) is selected for decoding(libdav1d is still used for
probing format).
$ ffmpeg -hwaccel vaapi -i av1.mp4 -f null -
$ ffmpeg -hwaccel nvdec -i av1.mp4 -f null -
$ ffmpeg -hwaccel vdpau -i av1.mp4 -f null -
[...]
Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (av1 (native) -> wrapped_avframe (native))

After applying this patch, the desired HW acceleration method is known
before selecting decoder, so we may take HW acceleration method into
account when selecting decoder for input stream in the next commit
There should be no functional changes in this patch

The streamcopy initialization code briefly needs an AVCodecContext to
apply AVOptions to. Allocate a temporary codec context, do not use the
encoding one.
