set AVFrame decode_error_flags in case h->slice_ctx->er.error_occurred is set
after the call to ff_h264_execute_decode_slices. This allows the user to detect
concealed decoding errors in the call to avcodec_receive_frame

This is not correct.
error_occurred does not imply the 2 specific errors

Thanks Michael Niedermayer for looking into this

What I am trying to solve is having a way to detect concealed decoding
errors by the caller to avcodec_receive_frame.

Should I add a general value e.g. #define
FF_DECODE_ERROR_DECODE_ERROR_OCCURRED 4 ?

Thanks
Amir

I suggest 
FF_DECODE_ERROR_CONCEALMENT_ACTIVE or something similar and then always
set this for all cases of error concealment
Its more informative than just knowing there was an error

also dont forget to increase minor version and add a entry to APICHanges

thx

Concealment is a consequence. Error_flags should refer to the cause. A 
generic UNKNOWN error seems much better to me if it is not feasible to 
determine the cause.

Concealment is the consequence generally, still the error in the frames
differs between concealment or no concealment. A user application may
want to treat these differently.
concealemnt is not supported by all codecs currently and also not by
all variants, for example interlaced material tends to be less supported
in concealment. A user app might choose to discard a frame that
contains errors but no concealemnt if the following frame is fine.

Also in a very pedantic view, concealemnt itself is an error too.
Its rarly known exactly where the damage starts so concealment often needs
to cover more and by doing so adds errors in a minority of locations
that is if you just want a formal argument why this would fit in here.
Not an argument against the principle that concealemnt differs here in what
it is, you are certainly correct about that.

FF_DECODE_ERROR_CONCEALMENT_ACTIVE sounds right for the case that the
ret variable is set to zero (i.e. indicate the fact that there was an
error and it is concealed)

    ret = ff_h264_execute_decode_slices(h);
    if (ret < 0 && (h->avctx->err_recognition & AV_EF_EXPLODE))
        goto end;

    // set h->cur_pic_ptr->f->decode_error_flags here

    ret = 0;
end:

Thank

OK, FF_DECODE_ERROR_CONCEALMENT_ACTIVE is fine then.
