Description
Video playback profiles allow decoders, renderers, etc to be selected based on resolution of the video.
I have a situation where I need to select a different decoder based on the codec. See https://lists.gt.net/mythtv/users/609271#609271 . My system can decode MPEG2 in software but not h264, which needs VDPAU decoding.
Ticket #12992 has a situation where selecting a different decoder based on h265 and interlacing may help.
Other cases may arise from time to time, likely when some or other bug exists in hardware decoding for particular situations.
I propose adding more criteria for selecting a playback profile. These would include video codec and interlace, and any others that are appropriate.
