Getting error when running. (Close to the end of the 0-hello-world)

Followed exactly how you tolled. I'm new to ffmpeg and concepts like these in general. So, the error might be very simple. And then getting this error for some reason.

[h264 @ 0x55c2ee4fd540] Error splitting the input into NAL units.

this is a part of the error. As similar to this line is coming infinitely with different values of before and after >. I ran the code you provided and it just ran fine. Here is my code:

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
  AVFormatContext *format_context = avformat_alloc_context();

  if (avformat_open_input(&format_context, "video.mp4", NULL, NULL)) {
    printf("failed to load video\n");
    return EXIT_FAILURE;
  }

  printf("Format  : %s\n"
         "Duration: %ld\n", format_context->iformat->long_name, format_context->duration);

  avformat_find_stream_info(format_context, NULL);

  printf("Stream Count: %u\n", format_context->nb_streams);

  for (int i = 0; i < format_context->nb_streams; i++) {
    AVCodecParameters *local_codec_parameters = format_context->streams[i]->codecpar;
    const AVCodec *local_codec = avcodec_find_decoder(local_codec_parameters->codec_id);

    if (local_codec_parameters->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_VIDEO) {
      printf("Video Codec: %dx%d\n", local_codec_parameters->width, local_codec_parameters->height);
    }
    else if (local_codec_parameters->codec_type == AVMEDIA_TYPE_AUDIO) {
      printf("Audio Codec: %d channels, sample rate: %d\n", local_codec_parameters->channels, local_codec_parameters->sample_rate);
    }

    AVCodecContext *codec_context = avcodec_alloc_context3(local_codec);
    avcodec_parameters_to_context(codec_context, local_codec_parameters);
    avcodec_open2(codec_context, local_codec, NULL);

    AVPacket *packet = av_packet_alloc();
    AVFrame *frame = av_frame_alloc();

    while (av_read_frame(format_context, packet) >= 0) {
      avcodec_send_packet(codec_context, packet);
      avcodec_receive_frame(codec_context, frame);
    }

    printf("Frame: %c (%d)\n PTS %ld, DTS %ld, Key_Frame %d [Codec_Picture_Count %d, Display_Picture_Count %d]",
           av_get_picture_type_char(frame->pict_type),
           codec_context->frame_number,
           frame->pts,
           frame->pkt_dts,
           frame->key_frame,
           frame->coded_picture_number,
           frame->display_picture_number);
  }

  return 0;
}

Sorry for not commenting any line. Thanks.

Hey 👋 @MubinMuhammad

Are you compiling/running it locally? or using docker as suggested?

Thanks
