[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 2/4] error: define AVERROR_EXTERNAL.

Nicolas George nicolas.george at normalesup.org
Wed Jul 4 13:57:05 CEST 2012


This code is intended for errors in external libraries
when no corresponding error code can be found.
AVERROR_UNKNOWN is too vague for that and looks like AVERROR_BUG.
