Stream specifiers were originally designed exclusively for CLI use and were not intended to be public API. Handling them in avformat places major restrictions on how they are used. E.g. if ffmpeg CLI wishes to override some stream parameters, it has to change the demuxer fields (since avformat_match_stream_specifier() does not have access to anything else). However, such fields are supposed to be read-only for the caller. Furthermore having this code in avformat restricts extending the specifier syntax. An example of such an extension will be added in following commits. |
