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

[Thomas Guillem]

I proposed a simpler solution, cf. "[PATCH] core: add "decoder-hw" bool option".

This won't allow users to choose between the decoder device, but it will allow them to enable/disable hw decoding (and decoder devices).
