From 163c6ad862c1bffcec34eb09e03d09c133b15d92 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: wm4 Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2015 14:03:02 +0100 Subject: vd_lavc: make hwdec fallback more tolerant A hw decoder might fail to decode a frame for multiple reasons, and not always just because decoding is impossible. We can't generally distinguish these reasons well. Make it more tolerant by accepting failures of 3 frames, but not more. The threshold can be adjusted by the repurposed --vd-lavc-software-fallback option. (This behavior was suggested much earlier in some PR, but at the time the "proper" hwdec fallback was indistinguishable from decoding error. With the current situation, "proper" fallback is still instantious.) --- DOCS/man/options.rst | 5 +++-- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'DOCS') diff --git a/DOCS/man/options.rst b/DOCS/man/options.rst index 94beae933a..4eb29eb4f7 100644 --- a/DOCS/man/options.rst +++ b/DOCS/man/options.rst @@ -823,9 +823,10 @@ Video The result is most likely broken decoding, but may also help if the detected or reported profiles are somehow incorrect. -``--vd-lavc-software-fallback=`` +``--vd-lavc-software-fallback=`` Fallback to software decoding if the hardware-accelerated decoder fails - (default: yes). + (default: 3).
