FFPlay cannot play H264 file

I can add some information - if in this check:
file - libavcodec\h264.c, line 1898-1899,

        if (h->next_output_pic && (
                                   h->next_output_pic->recovered)) {

remove

h->next_output_pic->recovered

then file playback good. But - it's not good solution

For future tickets: Please always include a failing ffmpeg command line together with the complete, uncut console output. Only report ffplay issues if they are not reproducible with ffmpeg.

Regression since 65c2fe71 - related to ticket #2738.
