Subject: vp9-svc: Add max_consec_drop to SVC frame drop.
X-Git-Tag: v1.8.0~662
X-Git-Url: https://granicus.if.org/sourcecode?a=commitdiff_plain;h=fc1c5d1c9cba8829995c68d07e827bc9bcccd9e8;p=libvpx

vp9-svc: Add max_consec_drop to SVC frame drop.

For any spatial, limits the amount of consecutive frame drop.
