[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 1/2] lavu: add syntax for loading AV_OPT_TYPE_BINARY from files

[Niklas Haas <ffmpeg@haasn.xyz>]

From: Niklas Haas <git@haasn.dev>

I arbitrarily decided to use the syntax 'opt=@filename' to match e.g.
`curl -Ffield=@filename`, and also because @ is not a valid hex
character, nor does it conflict with any other common shell or ffmpeg
syntax.

This is arguably somewhat clunky because it does not round-trip with
av_opt_get - you will get back a hex interpretation of the loaded file,
rather than the filename it was loaded from. It also implies a (perhaps
unnecessary) memcpy from mapped file memory into a allocated memory.
This is unfortunately necessary because there's no way for us to know
whether av_free or av_file_unmap is needed to clean up previous option
values.

The motivating use case was the introduction of several new binary
options for vf_libplacebo, but other filters that currently rely on
manual file-path loading could benefit from it as well.
