videotoolbox decoding error

[ponpon]

thank you for good apps

i face at a videotoolbox decoding error. it is "Error while decoding stream #0:0: Generic error in an external library". i don't know a relationship with ticket #6449.
this error generates since commit 14bb15bfd56d6e907fabe4620206c1ee152b7a20 of 2017-03-21. This error don't arise in the parental commit c358c62550e60a150c49f192d72631142a6eedd6 of 2017-03-21.

This is fixed in the git master.
I dont know which ticket fixes this.
Please close this ticket.

Well there is no "Generic error in an external library" message indeed. Just checked.
