Thanks for the information all.

We would need to find out if video decoding hardware exists behind V4L2 in the desktop case, or if that's just for Pi/ARM hardware. I strongly suspect it's the latter.

Also, since bug 1424201 is older and more generalized, I think this bug should be marked as a duplicate of that. It's always a bad idea to describe a solution in a bug rather than just the problem. Because most of the time that solution turns out to be the wrong one for the problem.

P.S. I am not working on video decoding any more. Only triaging bugs.
