To sum up and make sure we understand each other:

- The vout_thread_t is still constant (the same can be used with different medias)
- The window module inside the vout_thread_t is also constant: it is enabled when a decoder starts a vout (vout_Request) and disabled when the decoder is destroyed.

- The decoder device is created after the window is enabled (order coming from a vout_Request() from a video decoder). It is destroyed before the window is disabled.
- The decoder can now load a hw decoder using the decoder device.

I see a chicken-egg situation here with your patch. How can you know that the chroma is DXVA2 if you didn't created the hw decoder yet.

I think it should be done before, cf ^^
