Hi. According to the documentation of av_parser_parse2: https://www.ffmpeg.org/doxygen/trunk/group__lavc__parsing.html#ga691ca0258e91f99297e7726f56d8c247
"poutbuf_size set to size of parsed buffer or zero if not yet finished. " So we can expect that both poutbuf_size and poutbuf will be set upon av_parser_parse2 returning. However, looking at the code of some parser, such as the vp8 decoder: http://git.videolan.org/?p=ffmpeg.git;a=blob;f=libavcodec/vp8_parser.c;h=609f5077d1a1b2add1dd3e13f0508615428dafa0;hb=HEAD#l30 we can see that the vp8 parser will do return buf_size immediately under some circumstances (such as the size being to small, the sync code being invalid and so forth... but when doing so doesn't set the two out parameters. I believe this is a bug.... Either the documentation needs fixing, or the two out parameters needs to be set to poutbuf and poutbuf_size respectively as all data is to be consumed. An alternative would be to set them both to 0 if content is invalid (or too small) and as such we don't want the parser to output anything.
