If it happens that it contradicts zoom/auto-scale or other
parameters, I would rather choose to change their definition
which is confusing anyway with rendering API and an edge
case of usage in VLC, than prevent a full vout reuse which
correspond to the smoothest nominal usage of VLC player.

I think I made at least half of the discussion on this but
can't see the contradiction, or even the link between the
unimplemented synchronization for smooth resizing and the
fact that input format for a vout can change.

Even if you keep destroying the vout to recreate it, I fail
to see how this change anything related to resizing too.
Can you detail what is bothering you?

The point is about finding a clean way to implement Steve's
features. It is pivotal in the design of video output so it
can impede other work like maybe the synchronous resize
design you had in mind, so the goal is to explain what you
need its design to take into account if you don't want to
modify and suggest it yourself later, not prevent code from
being merged. It is all about saving contributor's free
time for later. I hope we can be cooperative on this
mailing for the good of everyone.
