The rule for API users is simple: you are not allowed to assume a specific component (like a decoder, demuxer or hwaccel) will be available at runtime*. You are supposed to check for it using the APIs provided for this purpose. In this case, AV_PIX_FMT_XVMC will just stop being offered in get_format(). Not to mention that I very much doubt there are any users of xvmc left, besides the original mplayer. * unless you are running with a very specific verified build, in which case a removal like this should be caught at the build stage -- Anton Khirnov _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
