Currently, AVHWAccels are looked up using a (codec_id, pixfmt) tuple. This means it's impossible to have 2 decoders for the same codec and using the same opaque hardware pixel format. This breaks merging Libav's CUVID hwaccel. FFmpeg has its own CUVID support, but it's a full stream decoder, using NVIDIA's codec parser. The Libav one is a true hwaccel, which is based on the builtin software decoders. Fix this by introducing another field to disambiguate AVHWAccels, and use it for our CUVID decoders. FF_CODEC_CAP_HWACCEL_REQUIRE_CLASS makes this mechanism backwards compatible and optional.
FFmpeg README
FFmpeg is a collection of libraries and tools to process multimedia content such as audio, video, subtitles and related metadata.
