This commit is largely based on commit 15e84ed3 from Anton Khirnov <anton@khirnov.net> which was previously skipped in bbf5ef9d. There are still a bunch of things raising codecpar related warnings that need fixing, such as: - the use of codec->debug in the interactive debug mode - read_ffserver_streams(): it's probably broken now but there is no test - lowres stuff - codec copy apparently required by bitstream filters The matroska references are updated because they now properly forward the field_order (previously unknown, now progressive). Thanks to James Almer for fixing a bunch of FATE issues in this commit. Signed-off-by: Clément Bœsch <clement@stupeflix.com> Signed-off-by: James Almer <jamrial@gmail.com>
