libav fails to decode H.264 stream

[Sergei Ianovich]

Any of oneiric libavcodec53, libavcodec-extra-53 or libav's git HEAD from [1] fails on the attached stream. A gray rectangle is displayed.

Both HEADs of release/0.7 and release/0.9 from ffmpeg [2] produce correct frame sequence.

2. git://git.videolan.org/ffmpeg.git

Cannot reproduce the grey rectangle, instead I see this

test.h264: Invalid data found when processing input

Looks like corrupt data to me, but feel free to submit this bug upstream:
http://bugzilla.libav.org/

Format isn't detected. That's a separate bug.

This command helps ffplay get the idea:

$ ffplay -f h264 test.h264

Indeed, this way I can confirm the issue. Can you please file this bug
upstream?

I've tested this file with avplay from libav 11.1. The issue seems to be fixed.
