[Bug]: Decoding a certain HEVC stream fails to decode without recovering from AMF_DECODER_NO_FREE_SURFACES error
Describe the bug We have an HEVC file (elementary) that hangs after decoding circa 5000-6000 frames by SampleDecoder.exe. I checked on the debugger and found that decoder->SubmitInput() returns AMF_DECODER_NO_FREE_SURFACES after some progress, but m_pDecoder->QueryOutput() in PollingThread::Run() returns AMF_OK, but data == NULL and decoding does not proceed.
To Reproduce The file is quite big (~90MB) and can be downloaded from here: https://files.cinegy.com/index.php/s/4FDknhI4fR1WdSF Just run it with SampleDecoder.exe and it will hang after a while.
Setup (please complete the following information):
- OS: Windows 10 / Windows 11
- Driver Version: 32.0.12033.1030 from 27-Nov-2024
- GPU : AMD Radeon 610M, but we also checked other AMD cards - all hang
- Which component has the issue: Decoder
Debug Log (please upload or paste):

Expected behavior It should properly recover after AMF_DECODER_NO_FREE_SURFACES and continue.
Additional context FYI: The older driver 27.20.11028.10001 from 19-Nov-2020 is working.
Thanks for reporting. This file actually causes three issues:
- In sample code here: https://github.com/GPUOpen-LibrariesAndSDKs/AMF/blob/afed28d37aca1938da2eedc50599bb3535a987ec/amf/public/samples/CPPSamples/SimpleDecoder/SimpleDecoder.cpp#L218 need to set bNeedNewInput = true;
- It was a bug in parsing of HRD header. You use older driver but in the newest driver parsers were updated for stricter error reporting, so the parsing error popped up.
- The actual hang happens when POC value in the stream is reset. All fixes will come with driver update.
