Ruk Doe 9a4111b1e0 avcodec/libaribcaption: emit empty subtitle on clear in bitmap mode
An ARIB caption statement whose data units contain only CS (clear screen)
decodes to a caption with the ARIBCC_CAPTIONFLAGS_CLEARSCREEN flag set and
region_count == 0.  In SUBTITLE_TEXT mode this is translated into a rect
holding "" so that the previous caption is erased.  In SUBTITLE_BITMAP mode
nothing is rendered, the function returns 0 and *got_sub_ptr is left at 0,
so the caller never learns that the caption ended.

Broadcasters send such a statement at the end of every caption segment (for
example when going to a commercial break).  Combined with wait_duration ==
ARIBCC_DURATION_INDEFINITE, which maps to end_display_time = UINT32_MAX, the
last caption of a segment stays on screen until the next one arrives - in a
real recording that was 22 minutes later.

Report an empty subtitle (num_rects = 0) when the clear-screen flag is set,
which sub2video and the usual subtitle consumers already treat as "erase".
The flag is tested instead of region_count == 0 because a statement
containing only TIME also decodes to zero regions but must not erase the
currently displayed caption.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
