[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH v2 2/3] libavfilter/vf_fps: Rewrite using activate callback

Thanks a lot. It looks very good. A few minor comments below, and I will
wait for the version where you fixed statistics.

At this point, ret can only be 0, you could drop the return. But maybe
you consider it more robust that way.

I am not 100% sure, but I think you can make this an assert.
