as VLC crashes in same situation, can we disable hardware acceleration?

[Processeur fou]

Hello,

As I have describe in my post about VLC media player crash when we take a snapshot of a kind of H265 video using hardware acceleration, my (free) software that uses LibVLC to display decoded H265 video display in a same way= bad video rendering and crashes when we take a snapshot, only because hardware acceleration failed with critical error. https://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=155495

Using VLC media player we can temporally fix this issue by disabling the hardware acceleration for the H265 decoder, but using libVLC I don't know if there is a way to do it.

It would be better if LibVLC video decoder hardware acceleration be set to "disable" by default

best solution would be to have the possibility to use a parameter to set the hardware acceleration.

So today I have no solution. Thank you if you can help me.

Hardware acceleration is enabled or disabled automatically, depending on the rendering mechanism selected by the application.

Thank you Rémi for your answer.

I have not yet selected any rendering mechanism, so just let the rendering working in default mode

I will examine that point.
