Sorry to chime in only now, but I'm currently looking at the VP9 spec
and it seems the resolution is allowed to change dynamically [1] (I
guess the same applies to VP8). IIU the spec correctly, coded frames
using the new resolution can reference decoded frames using the old
one (can be higher or lower res BTW). If we force a streamoff to change
the resolution (as seems to be the case here), we'll lose those ref
frames (see the hantro_return_bufs() in stop streaming), right?
Hans, Tomasz, any idea how this dynamic resolution change could/should
be supported?
