[remitamine]

Summary of the bug:
ffplay can't play bbc dash videos while the file can be played with GPAC MP4Client.
there is some realted info here ​https://www.mail-archive.com/get_iplayer@lists.infradead.org/msg08371.html

i couldn't connect to upload.ffmpeg.org for uploading the simple.
the bbc steams are geo reastricted(UK only).
if there is one of the developers that can access them i will put the method to extract the dash video.

Should be fixed in a36c737490d981cfad90164fb4e58902774d4414
Thank you for the sample!

[remitamine]

Thank you.
now i can encode HD videos and play them with mpv(vdpau hwaccel).
there is only some warnings:
[mp4 @ 0x1d72640] Timestamps are unset in a packet for stream 0. This is deprecated and will stop working in the future. Fix your code to set the timestamps properly

and this(repeated many times):
[mp4 @ 0x1d72640] pts has no value

anyway the result file is playable.
