It's good to get more people familiar with this code. So, I'm looking at understanding this, you're trying to fix the case where during draining, we may iterate over >1 worker thread cases where the first returned an error code without having decoded a frame, and the second decoded a frame without returning an error code, right? The current code would return a frame with an error return code, which I believe is then ignored by the user thread. So, you're basically trying to say that instead, we should ignore the error. I agree that fixes the issue of md5 mismatch w/ vs. w/o threads, but I doubt that it's fundamentally more correct, because the user thread still misses out on error codes from the worker threads. Wouldn't you agree that we should - even during draining - not iterate over N threads, but just the next thread, and return either an error or a decoded frame, and keep doing that until all worker threads are flushed, which we can then signal e.g. by return=0 and *got_picture_ptr=0?
