Hi,

thanks for your contribution.

Your patch fails to apply:
https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/1D1812F5-DB2A-4847-89DB-EF3A1A6C9BCF@waider.ie/

It appears to be created against an older version of the code. Patches need to be made with the current HEAD of the master branch as the base.

Best,
sw
