[vlc-devel] [PATCH 01/19] filter: add a drain callback for video filters

[Steve Lhomme]

Calls to filter a picture should be proceeded by a drain call to make sure
there is no picture left from the last picture filtered.

Filters calling vlc_picture_chain_AppendChain() should implement a drain of
their extra pictures instead.
