[FFmpeg-devel] Re: [RFC] Funded Task Ideas

[Niklas Haas via ffmpeg-devel <ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org>]

Hi all,

at VDD'25 multiple people discussed interest in the ability to improve the
filter negotiation around hardware filters; specifically about avoiding
the need to constantly set the pixel formats manually when going from HW to
SW, and also automatically insert hwupload/hwdownload filters when needed.

I raised the possibility of funding it via an SPI bounty, and received
widespread approval.

I am familiar with this code and have previously attempted solving this
exact problem on my own time, so I feel like I have a good understanding of
what needs to be done to make it possible.

I would like to formally propose allocating a bounty of 10,000 EUR for this
task; which would cover all necessary prerequisite changes (such as fixing
the hwupload/hwmap), full negotiation of swformats, and automatic
hwupload/hwdownload insertion.

Thoughts?
Niklas
