- MV-HEVC decoding
+- minor stream specifier syntax changes:
+ - when matching by metadata (:m:<key>:<val>), the colon character
+ in keys or values now has to be backslash-escaped
+ - in optional maps (-map ....?) with a metadata-matching stream specifier,
+ the value has to be separated from the question mark by a colon, i.e.
+ -map ....:m:<key>:<val>:? (otherwise it would be ambiguous whether the
+ question mark is a part of <val> or not)
+ - multiple stream types in a single specifier (e.g. :s:s:0) now cause an
+ error, as such a specifier makes no sense
