Bug#741170: [libav] XBMC quits playing corrupt stream from PVR backend due to libav

[Bálint Réczey]

Source: libav
Version: 6:10~beta1-2
Severity: important

Hi,

The problem has been originally reported at upstream [1] [2].
XBMC should keep playing the corrupt stream since otherwise errors in
broadcast signals would make watching TV impossible.
Vanilla XBMC using its in embedded FFmpeg plays the file [3] attached
to the upstream bug report.
I'm opening the bug against libav, since mplayer2 2.0-728-g2c378c7-1
also quits playing the file and valgrind avconv -i test.mkv -o
test.avi detects several memory handling errors.

The problem affects earlier libav in unstable, too, and I have not
checked libav in stable.

Thanks,
Balint
