Details

Description:

ffmpeg already has nvenc support turned on. Please also include nvdec.
Required for hardware decoding of h265 10-bit video on nvidia hardware.

nvdec is a newer implementation of CUVID/CUDA decoding, which uses the FFmpeg
decoders for file parsing. Experimental, is known not to correctly check
whether decoding is supported by the hardware at all. Deinterlacing
is not supported. Since this uses FFmpeg's codec parsers, it is expected that
this generally causes fewer issues than cuda.


Additional info:
* ffmpeg-4.0.2-2
   ffmpeg-enable-nvdec.patch (0.3 KiB)
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  Still I'll add --enable-nvdec in the next version for good measure, even if it's not necessary.

nvdec is already implicitly enabled, the codec is still called cuvid, you can verify that with 'ffmpeg -hwaccels'.
