The complex vertical low-pass filter slightly over-sharpens the picture. This becomes visible when several transcodings are cascaded and the error potentises, e.g. some generations of HD->SD SD->HD.
To prevent this behaviour the destination pixel must not exceed the source pixel when the average of the pixels above and below is less than the source pixel. And the other way around.
Tested and approved in a visual transcoding cascade test by video professionals.
SSIM/PSNR test with the first generation of an HD->SD file as a reference against the 6th generation(3 x SD->HD HD->SD):

Use the earliest input with the same status.
If that fails, print a warning and use the earliest source.
With this change, simple filter forward correctly the timestamp
of EOF.
Filters that are supposed to change it should be updated to
actually forward it.
Hi, it fixes the errors while converting to framesync2.
libvmaf was changed recently, double *score variable is removed in the new
version since it's not used anywhere. This patch fixes all the warnings and
segmentation faults.
