[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/8] avdovi/dovi_rpudec: handle prev_vdr_rpu_id failures

[Niklas Haas]

From: Niklas Haas <git at haasn.dev>

According to the spec, missing previous VDR RPU IDs do not constitute an
error, but we should instead fallback first to VDR RPU with ID 0, and
failing that, synthesize "neutral" metadata.

That's nontrivial though as the resulting metadata will be dependent on
other properties of the RPU, and this case is not hit in practice so
I'll defer it to a rainy day.
