Dear all,

I’m successfully decoding a video stream from a camera that uses h264 and 
JPEGs. However.. there is a bug in the camera so the JPEG header does not 
contain the width information. This throws a picture invalid size (which it 
should). 

When I connect I get the correct AVFormatContext and AVCodecContext. Wire shark 
and the codec context show that the stream sends the width information in an 
options describe. 

I’m wondering if there is a way to fill in the missing header information. I 
have tried hard coding the AVFrame width but this doesn’t fix the 
problem.(makes sense if the packet is garbled) 

I think there is a disconnect between avcodec_send_packet and 
avcodec_recieve_frame. Is there a way to overwrite the header with 
avcodec_send_packet? 

Summary - Badly formed headers mean when stream starts sending JPEGS they do 
not contain width information but AVCodecContext has the information from 
initial options describe. VLC media player plays the stream fine.

All my best,

(Thank you for your time!)
