I saw that. Seems strange that it got this far if it wasn't intentional. Intentional in the sense the change was global but hit this filter hard. It also seems, from engineering comments, that the switch was made from GPU weighted processing to CPU. If so, by all means, let's do more GPU. A lot cheaper to upgrade the video.
OTOH, perhaps the number of users using Intel or AMD Graphics as the video processing prompted the change to CPU.
Speculation in any case. We will see.
Oh and thanks for taking the lead on testing. It's nice to work this way!
