Aman Gupta 2b2f2f65f3 avformat: add fields to AVProgram/AVStream for PMT change tracking
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.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides a mean to alter decoded Audio and Video through chain of filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
