[FFmpeg-trac] #555(avcodec:open): h264: invalid 8x8 inference, reference decoder works fine (was: ffplay.exe cann't play the h.264.ts file, but the old version is OK!)

Comment:

 Attached h264 raw stream can be decoded with the reference decoder, ffmpeg
 does not decode the stream since 1c3ce2cd3ef3df47eccb0245017a6d2f3d5308b4
 (r21668), protesting "This stream was generated by a broken encoder,
 invalid 8x8 inference"
