A generic lavf flag for AAC LATM packetization for the RTP muxer was
added in ef409645f0 and then made inert 20 days later in 0832122880
when a private muxer option was added and the generic flag no longer
read.
These fields will allow the mpegts demuxer to expose details about
the PMT/program which created the AVProgram and its AVStreams.
In mpegts, a PMT which advertises streams has a version number
which can be incremented at any time. When the version changes,
the pids which correspond to each of it's streams can also change.
Since ffmpeg creates a new AVStream per pid by default, an API user
needs the ability to (a) detect when the PMT changed, and (b) tell
which AVStream were added to replace earlier streams.
This has been a long-standing issue with ffmpeg's handling of mpegts
streams with PMT changes, and I found two related patches in the wild
that attempt to solve the same problem:
The first is in MythTV's ffmpeg fork, where they added a
void (*streams_changed)(void*); to AVFormatContext and call it from
their fork of the mpegts demuxer whenever the PMT changes.
The second was proposed by XBMC in
https://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2012-December/135036.html,
where they created a new AVMEDIA_TYPE_DATA stream with id=0 and
attempted to send packets to it whenever the PMT changed.

Parses the video_stream_descriptor (H.222 2.6.2) to look
for the still_picture_flag. This is exposed to the user
via a new AV_DISPOSITION_STILL_IMAGE.
See for example https://tmm1.s3.amazonaws.com/music-choice.ts,

For seekable mpegts streams, duration is calculated from
pts by seeking to the end of the file for a pts and subtracting
the initial pts to compute a duration.
This can be expensive in terms of added latency during
probe, especially when streaming over a network. This new
option lets you skip the duration calculation, which is useful
when you don't care about the value and want to save some overhead.
This patch is particularly useful when dealing with live mpegts
streams. Normally such streams are not seekable, so durations
are not calculated. However in my case I am dealing with a seekable
live mpegts stream (networked access to a .ts file which is still
being appended to).

The seek function can just return an error if seeking is unavailable,
but often this is too late. Add a flag that signals that the stream is
unseekable, and use it in HLS.
It was sort of optional before - if you didn't call it, networking was
initialized on demand, and an ugly warning was logged. Also, the doxygen
comments threatened that it would be made strictly required one day.
Make it explicitly optional. I would prefer to deprecate it fully, but
there might still be legitimate reasons to use this. But the average
user won't need it.
This is needed only for two reasons: to initialize TLS libraries like
OpenSSL and GnuTLS, and winsock.
OpenSSL and GnuTLS were already silently initialized on demand if the
global network init function was not called. They also have various
thread-safety acrobatics, which make concurrent initialization within
libavformat safe. In addition, the libraries are moving towards making
their global init functions safe, which removes all need for central
global init. In particular, GnuTLS 3.5.16 and OpenSSL 1.1.0g have been
found to have safe init functions. In all cases, they use internal
reference counters to avoid that the global uninit functions interfere
with concurrent uses of the library by other API users who called global
init.
winsock should be thread-safe as well, and maintains an internal
reference counter as well.
Since we still support ancient TLS libraries, which do not have this
fixed, and since it's unknown whether winsock and GnuTLS
reinitialization is costly in any way, don't deprecate the libavformat
functions yet.
Every bitstream filter behaves as intended now, so there's no need to
wait for the first packet of every stream.

This patch deprecates anything that has to do with merging/splitting
side data. Automatic side data merging (and splitting), as well as all
API symbols involved in it, are removed completely.
Two FF_API_ defines are dedicated to deprecating API symbols related to
this: FF_API_MERGE_SD_API removes av_packet_split/merge_side_data in
libavcodec, and FF_API_LAVF_KEEPSIDE_FLAG deprecates
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA in libavformat.
Since it was claimed that changing the default from merging side data to
not doing it is an ABI change, there are two additional FF_API_ defines,
which stop using the side data merging/splitting by default (and remove
any code in avformat/avcodec doing this): FF_API_MERGE_SD in libavcodec,
and FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD in libavformat.
It is very much intended that FF_API_MERGE_SD and FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD
are quickly defined to 0 in the next ABI bump, while the API symbols are
retained for a longer time for the sake of compatibility.
AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA will (very much intentionally) do nothing for
most of the time it will still be defined. Keep in mind that no code
exists that actually tries to unset this flag for any reason, nor does
such code need to exist. Code setting this flag explicitly will work as
before. Thus it's ok for AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA to do nothing once
side data merging has been removed from libavformat.
In order to avoid that anyone in the future does this incorrectly, here
is a small guide how to update the internal code on bumps:
- next ABI bump (probably soon):
- define FF_API_LAVF_MERGE_SD to 0, and remove all code covered by it
- define FF_API_MERGE_SD to 0, and remove all code covered by it
- next API bump (typically two years in the future or so):
- define FF_API_LAVF_KEEPSIDE_FLAG to 0, and remove all code covered
by it
- define FF_API_MERGE_SD_API to 0, and remove all code covered by it
This forces anyone who actually wants packet side data to temporarily
use deprecated API to get it all. If you ask me, this is batshit fucked
up crazy, but it's how we roll. Making AVFMT_FLAG_KEEP_SIDE_DATA to be
set by default was rejected as an ABI change, so I'm going all the way
to get rid of this once and for all.

Public fields were added after the private fields (negating the entire
point of this). New private fields go into AVStreamInternal anyway.
The new marker was set by guessing which fields are supposed to be
private and wshich not. recommended_encoder_configuration is accessed by
ffserver_config.c directly, and is supposed to use the public API.
ffmpeg.c accesses AVStream.cur_dts, even though it's a private field,
but that seems to be an older error.
Allow all struct fields to be accessed directly, as long as they're
public.
Before this change, many fields were "public", but could be accessed via
AVOption only. This meant they were effectively not public, but were
present for documentation purposes, which was incredibly confusing at
best.

This allows a consumer to run the muxer's init function without actually
