Video coding with enhanced support for stream adaptation and splicing

A method for processing video data, the method comprising:

• receiving a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit comprising a portion of the video data;
• determining that the NAL unit comprises a broken link picture;
• and
• setting a NAL unit type for the NAL unit to a NAL unit type that indicates that the NAL unit comprises the broken link picture.

A device for processing video data, the device comprising one or more processors configured to:

• receive a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit comprising a portion of the video data;
• determine that the NAL unit comprises a broken link picture;
• and
• set a NAL unit type for the NAL unit to a NAL unit type that indicates that the NAL unit comprises the broken link picture.

A computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a network abstraction layer (NAL) unit comprising a portion of the video data;
• determine that the NAL unit comprises a broken link picture;
• and
• set a NAL unit type for the NAL unit to a NAL unit type that indicates that the NAL unit comprises the broken link picture.
