[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] <release/7.1> fate/ffmpeg: remove comparison against ref from fix_sub_duration_heartbeat (PR #21219)

[Jan Ekström via ffmpeg-devel]

PR #21219 opened by Jan Ekström (jeeb)
URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/21219
Patch URL: https://code.ffmpeg.org/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/pulls/21219.patch

After the full ffmpeg CLI multithreading changes went in, this
test started depending on how far the input side read and decoded
the input compared to how quickly the output encoded things, causing
spurious failures on the CI.

To my knowledge all of the failures have so far been valid correct
results, but unfortunately FATE's built in checks mostly consist of
whether there is a difference against an exact result.

This way we still get the CI and valgrind running of the code,
but stop its comparison. Reference file is left around so that
the previous reference is still available.

(cherry picked from commit e54bd7065d024bd3925f80533eae10ef88a5cced)
