[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] h264_slice: Fix return of incomplete frames from decoder

[John Stebbins]

When not using libavformat for demuxing, AVCodecContext.has_b_frames
gets set too late causing the recovery frame heuristic in h264_refs to
incorrectly flag an early frame as recovered.

This patch sets has_b_frames earlier to prevent improperly flagging the
frame as recovered.
