Though, only when the output format is matroska, to avoid muxing errors.
This is quite useful when the input has ASS subtitles, as they tend to
rely on embedded fonts.
I've looked and studied the flow in the recorder, and to my
understanding, the packet queue is moot after the initial sync, maybe
even then - but that's beyond me right now.
With the previous choice to mux trailing packets whatever the case, this
doesn't result in any new ill effects (and some missing packets at the
end is no big deal).
Notably, since we don't have to hold onto the packets after we get
muxing, we'll never run into any issues with veeery long GOPs filling up
our queue (resulting in dropped packets and much user chagrin).
For muxing, FFmpeg expects the FLAC extradata to be just the bare STREAMINFO,
and passing the full FLAC extradata (fLaC header and block size, with any
additional channel layout metadata) will result in malformed output, as
ffmpeg will simply prefix another fLaC header in front.
This can be considered to be a bug.
FFmpeg's own demuxers only store the STREAMINFO, hence the naivety, while
our common source of FLAC streams, the matroska demuxer, holds onto the
full extradata. It has been deemed preferable to adjust the extradata upon
muxing, instead of in the demuxer (ffmpeg's FLAC decoder knows to read
the full fLaC extradata).
This fixes muxing FLAC streams, meaning recorder.c or dump-cache.
dump_cache() calls qsort() to order an array of pointers, while the
comparator forgets it's receiving pointers to pointers.
Since cache-dumping over multiple cache ranges is fairly rare, this
seems to have gone unnoticed.
In commit f7678575a5, wm4 chooses to mux
all remaining packets when mp_recorder_mark_discontinuity() is called and
adds a call to mux_packets(). However, it is called only after flush_packets(),
which clears the packets before they can be muxed out. This has no ill
effects per se - recordings end on keyframes, as before - but judging from
his commit message, the intention explicitly was to output the inter
frames, since long GOPs can mean several seconds of missing content from
the output. So, clear the stream packet queues only after the final mux.
Also, flushing can mean both discarding and committing. What a country!
Avoiding blindly copying the codec_tag between different formats allows
us to mux packets from, say, mpegts streams to matroska, making the
recorder (dump-cache) much more usable as unsupported codec_tags can
make the muxer reject the streams.
During the 12th month (checked during script initialization), draw a Santa hat
on top of the idle message's logo.
Slightly refactors and optimizes the drawing process as well: reorder original
logo layers and remove redundant holes in them, use a shared line prefix
to clear the style and set start position.

This commit introduces a new --oset-metadata key-value-list option,
allowing the user to specify output metadata when encoding
(eg. --oset-metadata=title="Hello",comment="World").
A second option --oremove-metadata is added to exclude existing metadata
from the output file (assuming --ocopy-metadata is enabled).
Not all output formats support all tags, but luckily libavcodec
simply discards unsupported keys.
--copy-metadata describes the result of the option better, (copying metadata
from the source file to the output file). Marks the old --no-ometadata
OPT_REMOVED with a suggestion for the new --no-ocopy-metadata.
