You mean in 1.4 we generated a stream that only had a single SPS/PPS in
the beginning, and with 1.8 we duplicate the SPS/PPS before every
keyframe?
And your decoder is failing because of those duplicated SPS/PPS?

Which encoder are you using here again? Are you using h264parse?

Please report a bug about this with all those information and ideally
also two sample streams here:
