[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] vc1_parser: Reset unesc_index after extracting header with complete frames (PR #20445)

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] vc1_parser: Reset unesc_index after extracting header with complete frames (PR #20445)

[DE-AI via ffmpeg-devel]

PR #20445 opened by DE-AI
URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20445
Patch URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/20445.patch

When PARSER_FLAG_COMPLETE_FRAMES is set (e.g. in Matroska),
unesc_index is not reset after the first frame, which causes
subsequent frames to inherit leftover header data.

This leads to incorrect keyframe marking and broken decoding.
