[FFmpeg-devel] Fwd: [PATCH] avcodec: allow hardware decoding with multithread for FFmpeg

[Stève Lhomme]

Hello fellow FFmpegers,

Is there still an issue with hardware decoding when combined with
multithread ? It seems to work fine on our Windows build. Although we
have a mutex in place in the D3D11 variant of the code that may help.
It mostly protects the video context...

If necessary we can have the same trick for DXVA2 if there are still
known issues.

The context is protected by a mutex.
