ff_videotoolbox_avcc_extradata_create() was never being called if
avctx->extradata_size==0, even though the function does not need or use
the avctx->extradata.

This manifested itself only on h264 streams in specific containers, and
only on iOS. I guess the macOS version of VideoToolbox is more
forgiving, atleast on my specific combination of OS version and hardware.

I also added an error log message when VTDecompressionSessionCreate()
fails, to help the next poor soul who runs into a bug in this area of the
code. The native OSStatus error codes are much easier to google than
their AVERROR counterparts (especially in this case, with AVERROR_UNKNOWN).

Could this be a bug in another part of the code? It seems like extradata should be set.

Which container has this issue?

This is somewhat confusing. The extradata_size check is only needed for videotoolbox_esds_extradata_create(). It should check the sps and pps sizes are valid before creating the avcc atom.

Yes it definitely could be. I can verify if extradata is present on macOS
where the same sample and ffmpeg version worked.

I saw it with an mpegts file, but only on iOS.

I can remove this outer if statement altogether, and add a check either
around or inside the esds_create if that makes more sense.

Looks like missing extradata has nothing to do with the platform, but
rather only happens when you skip calling avformat_find_stream_info().

I am skipping the find_stream_info() call to reduce time spent probing and
begin playback more quickly, since the initial avformat_open_input() is
enough to discover available streams on mpegts containers.

That means this issue is not as widespread as I initially thought, but I
still think it's an optimization worth making.

Let me know if you'd like me to submit the alternative version of this
patch.

That makes sense. I think a decoder shouldn't really rely on this
pseudo extradata that libavformat constructs.

That this code is run only with extradata_size set makes no sense at
least in the h264 code and was an oversight.
