Backend unable to record h264 PAFF interlaced streams after single channel change

Description

When trying to record an h264 PAFF interlaced stream, the time records correctly. However, subsequent recordings fail. Either the backend segfaults in libavcodec or goes into a continous loop of error messages like:

2007-03-19 12:28:35.027 AFD Error: Unknown decoding error [h264 @ 0xb748b728]PAFF interlacing is not implemented

See attached logs. I also have a patch for the segfault issue attached.

I'm sure we will get it with the next ffmpeg sync

besides the log looks if the backend tries to render a thumbnail. That's the only usage of AVFormatDecoder in the backend I know.
