[FFmpeg-devel] exposing public API for chromium ffmpeg_demuxer.cc code

[Paweł Hajdan]

I've been working on making chromium work with system (unmodified and
installed) ffmpeg, and there is some code currently using internal-only
API, which is not available in that case:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/a6912725c190eebf472d78a44d8fd247751e9a07/media/filters/ffmpeg_demuxer.cc#1188

Do you have suggestions what could be done to do what above code is doing
without need to access the internal parts?

For convenience, I'm also pasting the snippet of code below:

  const AVFormatInternal* internal = format_context->internal;
  if (internal && internal->packet_buffer &&
      format_context->start_time != static_cast<int64_t>(AV_NOPTS_VALUE)) {
    struct AVPacketList* packet_buffer = internal->packet_buffer;
    while (packet_buffer != internal->packet_buffer_end) {
      DCHECK_LT(static_cast<size_t>(packet_buffer->pkt.stream_index),
                start_time_estimates.size());
      const AVStream* stream =
          format_context->streams[packet_buffer->pkt.stream_index];
      if (packet_buffer->pkt.pts != static_cast<int64_t>(AV_NOPTS_VALUE)) {
        const base::TimeDelta packet_pts =
            ConvertFromTimeBase(stream->time_base, packet_buffer->pkt.pts);
        if (packet_pts < start_time_estimates[stream->index])
          start_time_estimates[stream->index] = packet_pts;
      }
      packet_buffer = packet_buffer->next;
    }
  }
