Control: reassign -1 ffmpeg 7:5.1-2
Control: affects -1 kodi
Hi,
since kodi in Debian is built against ffmpeg 5.1, TV playback is broken.
More specifically, kodi can no longer play video transport streams.
One can reproduce this by playing a video from a ts file in kodi, e.g.:
$ ffmpeg -f lavfi -i testsrc -t 10 -c:v h264 test.ts
$ kodi test.ts
This worked fine with kodi 19.4, which was built against ffmpeg 4.4,
but no longer shows the video in kodi 20, which is built against ffmpeg 5.1.
The problem is that kodi tries to manually extract transport stream extradata
using parser->split in CDVDDemuxFFmpeg::ParsePacket [1], but all the split
functions were removed in ffmpeg 5.0 by [2]:

avcodec: Move all AVCodecParser.split functions to remove_extradata_bsf
The remove_extradata bsf is the only user of these functions.

Reverting this commit on top of ffmpeg 5.1 (and including startcode.h in
files then using avpriv_find_start_code) restores TV playback in kodi.
As the example of kodi shows, these split functions are generally useful
for API users outside of ffmpeg itself.
Thus please restore them, e.g. by reverting this commit.
Thanks,
Rogo
