Hello FFmpeg Developers, My name is Nariman, and I am applying for GSoC 2026 for the EIA-608 Closed Captions Modernization project.
As a Qualification Task, I have fixed a small bug in FFmpeg’s SubViewer subtitle decoder by adding a null pointer check in the function `subviewer_decode_frame`. This demonstrates my ability to read FFmpeg code, understand its APIs, and safely apply changes. Please find my patch attached: Attachment: 0001-avcodec-subviewerdec-add-null-pointer-check-in-subvi.patch I am eager to contribute to the EIA-608 project, learn about digital video fundamentals, and improve FFmpeg’s Closed Captions code base. Thank you for your time and consideration. Best regards, Nariman
