[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] avformat/mpegts: Add AVFMT_FLAG_ALLOW_CODEC_CHANGES (v2)

[Pavel Koshevoy <pkoshevoy-at-gmail.com@ffmpeg.org>]

Make midstream AVStream.codecpar updates optional and disabled
by default, so that avformat API clients can enable this feature
explicitly when they add support for midstream codec changes.
