avcodec/exif: parse additional EXIF IFDs
Most EXIF metadata is in IFD0 and most EXIF payloads only contain
one IFD, but it is possible for there to be more IFDs after the
existing trailing one. exiftool and similar software report these IFDs
as IFD1, IFD2, etc. This commit reads those additional IFDs and attaches
them as dummy entries in the top-level IFD ranging from 0xFFFC down to
0xFFED, which are unused by the EXIF spec. The EXIF API is only able to
return and work with a single IFD, so by attaching it as a subdirectory
this metadata can be preserved.

This is done transparently through the read/write process. Upon parsing
an additional IFD1, it will be attached, but it will be written with
av_exif_write after IFD0 rather than as a subdirectory, as intended.

Existing files without more than one IFD, i.e. most files, will be unaffected
by this change, as well as API clients looking to parse specific fields, but
now more metadata is parsed and written, rather than simply being discarded
as trailing data.

FFmpeg README

FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.

Libraries

  • libavcodec provides implementation of a wider range of codecs.
  • libavformat implements streaming protocols, container formats and basic I/O access.
  • libavutil includes hashers, decompressors and miscellaneous utility functions.
  • libavfilter provides means to alter decoded audio and video through a directed graph of connected filters.
  • libavdevice provides an abstraction to access capture and playback devices.
  • libswresample implements audio mixing and resampling routines.
  • libswscale implements color conversion and scaling routines.

Tools

  • ffmpeg is a command line toolbox to manipulate, convert and stream multimedia content.
  • ffplay is a minimalistic multimedia player.
  • ffprobe is a simple analysis tool to inspect multimedia content.
  • Additional small tools such as aviocat, ismindex and qt-faststart.
