This allows avformat_find_stream_info to finish without opening a decoder in more cases.
That may be a good thing, but it still removes existing functionality. Would it be too much work to introduce avformat_find_stream_info2 with an additional flags parameter where the user can set if he wants the code to open a decoder to get additional information?
Since decoders still export some information that the corresponding parsers don't, this causes some fields to be unset in ffprobe output where the decoder would previously have only been called in avformat_find_stream_info. If this is a problem, the parsers should be updated to report that information as well.
Have you checked how "widespread" is this problem? E.g. how many previously known values will not be present in ffprobe -show_streams output if you run it to our sample corpus? If it is more than a few cases, (so fixing the parses is not a reasonable amount of work) then we shouldn't just break the output of ffprobe, but figure out something to keep it as full of information as possible.
