Hi all
This is a quick RFC about peoples oppinions on AVFilter
The question: Should anyone be able to write a filter (which
other people can use) ?
Or should only we be able to add filters ?
(This relates to what parts of the API are publically accessable)
So whats the point of this RFC ?
If we want a public API that allows writing filters then work on the API
has to be compatible with that direction.
"compatible" for example would be, "Adding whats missing to the public API"
or "deprecating existing API and writing a better API that makes all needed
parts public"
"incompatible" for example is "making bits and pieces private that are needed
by filters
Some of the currently pending patches seem to fall into the "incompatible"
category, while iam not sure what peoples oppinions is on the direction
of AVfilter, which is why iam bringing this up
Thx
