[vlc-devel] [PATCH] avcodec: tell the vout not to peek in the decoder pool anymore when closing

[Steve Lhomme]

No it's an issue with the whole design of the VA. The module is
unconditionally unloaded from memory even though it might still have
pictures with a context for destruction pointing to dead code. Luckily most
of the time it doesn't bite because the vout is kept longer for reuse.
It does bite when the driver has pending actions.
