 Video playback profiles allow decoders, renderers, etc to be selected
 based on resolution of the video.

 I have a situation where I need to select a different decoder based on the
 codec. See https://lists.gt.net/mythtv/users/609271#609271 . My system can
 decode MPEG2 in software but not h264, which needs VDPAU decoding.

 Ticket #12992 has a situation where selecting a different decoder based on
 h265 and interlacing may help.

 Other cases may arise from time to time, likely when some or other bug
 exists in hardware decoding for particular situations.

 I propose adding more criteria for selecting a playback profile. These
 would include video codec and interlace, and any others that are
 appropriate.
