Enable/disable GPU acceleration with libvlc

Postby StarbuckOnBSG » 07 Mar 2015 13:00

I'm developing a simplke Player based on libvlc (under Windows only).

How can I enable/disable hardware acceleration (DXVA) ?

If/When DXVA support in VLC is robust, enough it will be enabled automatically. Meanwhile, you really should not enable it.

Got it.
Nevertheless a user asked me if I could add an option... Shall I use --ffmpeg-hw in libvlc_new(argc, argv) call?
