 filter type 1, decoding such frames in sequential order
 > To parallelize slice decoding you need video encoded with
 disable_deblocking_filter_idc set to 2 (deblock only edges that do not
 cross slices).
 > Setting the flags2 libavcodec option to +fast (-flags2 +fast) will
 disable deblocking across slices and enable parallel slice decoding but
 will generate non-standard-compliant output.

 > If you want this fixed, you will either have to explain how I can
 reproduce or run a bisect to find the change fixing the issue for you.
