[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavcodec: Make disposition forced work with mov_text subtitles.

[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] libavcodec: Make disposition forced work with mov_text subtitles.

[facefunk]

We are not currently able to force mov_text subtitles by setting -disposition:s:0 +forced or equivalent. By setting the forced flags in movtextenc as specifid in https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/QuickTime/QTFF/QTFFChap3/qtff3.html subtitles can be forced as expected in VLC and similar players.

Copy AVStream disposition to AVCodecContext and use to set DISPLAY_FLAG_ALL_SAMPLES_FORCED in movtextenc.c.
