Capturing from Decklink card broken after December 10 releases

[BlackScreen]

Hello Zeranoe,
first and foremost: thank you for your Windows builds of FFmpeg!
They are unbelievably helpful in my daily workflows.

I recently encountered a problem, when updating my FFmpeg version from a release in Mid November, to the current one.
I am using FFmpeg in one of the scripts to capture video from a Decklink card. After the update, I get an error message and it does not work.
I then checked the recent versions and found the last working version was the one labelled "20161210-edb4f5d". The next one (20161216-a5cf600) does not work and all after that do not work either.

Was there any change to FFmpeg?

My command line, I use:
FFmpeg.exe -r 25 -rtbufsize 2048M -channels 2 -video_input sdi -audio_input embedded -f decklink -i "DeckLink HD Extreme [email protected]" -filter_complex "[0:v] yadif, split=2 [recording] [stream]" -map "[recording]" -map 00 -vcodec libx264 -s 1920x1080 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset ultrafast -crf 18 -profile:v high -level 4.0 -acodec aac -ab 256k "capture.mp4" -map "[stream]" -map 00 -vcodec libx264 -s 1920x1080 -pix_fmt yuv420p -preset ultrafast -crf 18 -profile:v high -level 4.0 -acodec aac -ab 256k -f mpegts "udp://localhost:1234" -hide_banner

I should say that I use VLC to check the recording via the local UDP stream. Evertything else should be self explanotory.

Any ideas? Thanks for your reply!

I've updated the included DeckLink version. Can you please try the latest build and let me know if the issue is still happening?

Thank you for the update, but sadly it does not work either.
I get the error message: "Unrecognized option 'video_input' - Error splitting the argument list: Option not found".
The same happens when I strip the "video_input"-option from the command line and also if I delete "audio_input".
Then the error message is: "Unknown input format: 'decklink'"

I have tried building FFmpeg for myself with the Autobuild-Suite from GitHub.
With my own build (everything in the Suite) I succeeded with building FFmpeg and the Decklink support did work. Any idea why that works and with your builds it does not?

[Zeranoe]

Can you please run the command from your machine with a debug loglevel and post the output?

Do builds from my script work by chance, do you know? https://github.com/rdp/ffmpeg-windows-build-helpers/
Just want to make sure I haven't broken anything

Hi Zeranoe, hi Roger,
I have run the command on my other machine with "-v 9 -loglevel 99".
I have tested the version "ffmpeg-20161210-edb4f5d-win64-static" from Zeranoe, which works.
I have also tested the current version from Zeranoe ("ffmpeg-20161230-6993bb4-win64-static") and "ffmpeg.static.2016-08-12-v3.1.2.64-bit" from Roger which sadly both do not work. My custom build from December 28th does work. These four log files are in the attachment for you.

After checking the binarys and what changed between the releases it has to be the removal of the "--disable-w32threads" option.
The custom build in the suite has it, the version from Zeranoe which works for me has it...
So, Zeranoe, can you add this option to your builds again? I would like to use your builds.

Hey Zeranoe,
any news on this issue? Have you looked into this? Would be great!
