[vlc-devel] [PATCH 3/4] core: vout: pass an input_thread_t to vout_GetDevice()

[Thomas Guillem]

 A lot of LibVLC clients have a setting to enable/disable hw decoding. Changing the "avcodec-hw" string by "dec-dev" is quite easy. But having to destroy and create a new libvlc in order to update user preferences is a huge change and require a lot of adaptation in client apps.
