Summary

  • Fixes segmentation fault when using -out=report on transport streams with AVC/H.264 or HEVC video
  • Adds NULL pointer checks at the Rust FFI boundary in ccxr_process_avc()

Root Cause

When using -out=report mode, the encoder context (enc_ctx) is intentionally NULL because no output file needs to be created. The Rust FFI function was dereferencing this NULL pointer without validation.

Test plan

  • Verified -out=report no longer segfaults on H.264 streams
  • Verified -out=report works on HEVC streams
  • Verified normal caption extraction still works

Fixes #2023

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

When using -out=report mode, the encoder context (enc_ctx) is NULL
because no output file needs to be created. The Rust FFI function
ccxr_process_avc was dereferencing this NULL pointer, causing a
segmentation fault.

Add NULL pointer checks at the FFI boundary to skip AVC processing
when enc_ctx is NULL. This is safe because report mode only needs
stream analysis, not caption extraction.

Fixes #2023
