Hi All, I am developing an app that opens multiple streams and read
data in threads and que in buffers, using avcodec as a demuxer, the
code is contained in one shared object module which is dynamically
loaded by the app (lets call it streamer module). I am then passing
the same AVFormatContexts to another shared object module that I load
dynamically by the app (lets say decoder module), to regain the
AVCodecContext from the AVFormatContexts and, open the codec to decode
whats in the queue.

The problem I am having has to do with having codec open in both of
these modules, in the comments for the prototype of avcodec_open, it
states that this function is not thread safe.To me that means I cant
have two copies of codec opened with the same codec contexts in both
modules. If thats true, then what would be the best way to reopen a
codec which relates to the same codec context that I have opened on
the streamer module. I could probably pass around pointer to codec
itself but then how to get back the format contexts and avcontexts?
