FYI I had thought about arguments-to-side data earlier, and as I saw this thread I decided to make a proof-of-concept that has one layer which constructs an AVBufferRef of the side data itself based on an AVDictionary (constructor, basically), and then another which then goes over type-arguments sort of dictionary and attaches things (to an AVFrame in this case). AVPacket and AVFrame side data is slightly different, so I guess you'd have to split one layer which generates an AVBufferRef, and then that'd be utilized (discarded or not) by the utilizing function. I do wonder if AVOptions wouldn't be better for something like this, but at least it lets you play around with the idea. My initial API user ended up being the setparams filter. Link to PoC branch: https://github.com/jeeb/ffmpeg/commits/arguments_to_side_data Usage example: ffmpeg -v verbose -i INPUT -map 0:v:0 -vf setparams=side_data=displaymatrix=angle=34.34,showinfo -vframes 1 -f null - In theory av_frame_side_data_name could be utilized for side data naming, but in that case it would be "3x3 displaymatrix=angle=34.34", which is why I - unfortunately - decided not to utilize it at first.
