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.

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
