I need to fight about every single character of submitted code, and you are trying to justify your commit that clearly breaks behavior instead of either reverting or offering a solution. Instead I need to go through stupid discussions with you. I don't understand that behavior. For most others it would be totally clear that such commit would need to be reverted until a new solution is found. I have reported the issue nicely and well explained. But you start to find some justifications instead of suggesting any solution. I don't like that. I wish I wouldn't have been required to write that much text, and you would have just responded something like, OK, I'll see how I can resolve the regression that my commit has caused. That would be a normal reaction IMO.

Frankly, your attitude of breathlessly repeating "ffprobe is BROKEN, and this is HORRIBLE" is unhelpful. I am open to various kinds of solutions, which include (temporarily?) reintroducing previous behavior, but first we must determine what the actual issue is. I.e. whether it is libavcodec or ffprobe that is broken.

Shady? I don't understand how you can say that. First of all: You broke ffprobe. It took me one and a half working days to trace this back from the symptom that the user was experiencing to that commit of yours. Now, you could fix that in ffprobe - but then it would be still broken for: 1. Applications which have copied the code from ffprobe 2. Users running (an unchanged) ffprobe with a newer libavcodec version; (you said it would be so important that the libraries are exchangeable and multiple versions can be mixed) Adjusting ffprobe would still break these two cases.

I might agree to that when: - the function documentation would have been clear about it - it wouldn't be ffprobe code getting invalidated by the change When looking at all the APIs that you are so carefully protecting with those version numbers, there is a small number of APIs, with good to great documentation, but a large number where you can't get the slightest clue about how it is supposed to be used and called and which conditions need to be met, which prerequisites are required before calling, how to interpret and what to do with the results, etc. ...without looking at the ffmpeg/ffprobe code for how these tools are using the APIs. I mean - almost everybody does that. And when somebody is looking at the code of ffprobe to understand how to use the ffmpeg API, then one needs to be able to rely on the code he sees there being correct. And even if it isn't from an ffmpeg internal perspective, I would still consider it as an API break when a change would cause such code fail. sw ___ 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".

It makes no sense to call > avcodec_open2() with the AVMEDIA_TYPE_ATTACHMENT type. You make a behavioral change to an API function that had this behavior established and constant over more than 10 years, and when that change breaks functionality, it's the callers' fault? How does this go together with all that peanut counting of major, minor and micro version numbers per library? What is this versioning good for, when you can make breaking changes and declare the breakage as bugs? Though, I don't want to say that your change is wrong or shouldn't be made. Yet, the change requires ffprobe to be adjusted (I just wouldn't call it a "bug fix"..)

This is causing a regression in ffprobe.
The commit removes the special-case check for AVMEDIA_TYPE_ATTACHMENT which
was required for ffprobe and had been added with
e83c716e16c52fa56a78274408f7628e5dc719da.
The demand from the commit message is not yet guaranteed to be fulfilled:
> On entry to avcodec_open2(), the type and id either have to be
> UNKNOWN/NONE or have to match the codec to be used.
I have one verified example (maybe a second will follow), which is an MKV with
an attachment "stream" of type "text".
The found codec will be textdec of type 'subtitle' even though the stream type
is attachment. Without the special condition for attachment streams, this
is now causing ffprobe to error out with non-zero exit code and incomplete
output.
Example:
[...]
Stream #0:9: Attachment: text
Metadata:
filename: textfile.text
mimetype: text/plain
[text @ 01AC32310340] Codec type or id mismatches
Could not open codec for input stream 9

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/8] lavc/avcodec: simplify codec id/type validity checking
On entry to avcodec_open2(), the type and id either have to be
UNKNOWN/NONE or have to match the codec to be used.
