So even if they are broken on some setups, they are not broken everywhere, or not more broken than they used to be. Also, poper deprecation is needed here, since not only the CLI tools might use these. Especially since there is no drop-in replacement. > > The 'pipe:' output can be used with a real video player such as mpv, vlc, or > even ffplay.

Not everything that the devices support can be serialized, it is extra CPU, latency of the receiving app reading from pipe is a question... I'd be a lot more happy with this if we'd offer some replacement which has no issues. Maybe a libplacebo based outdev.
