libavfilter: empty source buffer + yadif filters chain, polling for frames -> assertion failed

[fpretto]

NB: the "nullsink" filter is used improperly as the last filter in the chain.

The following self compiling sample gives:

Assertion failed!
Program: C:\Users\ceztko\Staging\target\Debug\Test.exe
File: libavfilter/vf_yadif.c, Line 277
Expression: yadif->next

Polling for frames with the empty source filter should, IMO, return 0, or be a specific switchable error (not a generic -1).

should be fixed
thx for the report
