[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH 0/3] hwcontext_vaapi: dlopen libva-x11 and libva-drm

[Emil Velikov <emil.l.velikov@gmail.com>]

Greetings everyone,

As you may know the libva* set of libraries share an internal ABI
between them. In a resent libva commit, the va_fool API was removed.

Thus if one is to mix different versions of libva.so and libva-x11.so
they will get an error, leading to a crash of the whole stack.

The simple solution is to dlopen() the winsys components, like libva-x11
and libva-drm. The changes are pretty minor and allow us to handle most
of the issues.

Comments and suggestions are welcome, but please me gentle it's my first
time hacking on ffmpeg.

Thanks
Emil

Aside:
 - Please consider backporting it to the stable branches in due time.
 - My TODO includes to reducing the massive ABI between libva* and
backend drivers, which is likely to involve adding a "registration" API.
