             AvFormatDecoder: Fallback to alternative decoders when
 necessary

 - if a (hardware) decoder is not available, disallow it in the
 VideoDisplayProfile and try again
 - note - this only works when the decoder fails pre-setup checks (which
 are pretty good for most decoders except MMAL, VideoToolbox and V4L2
 Codecs). A subsequent decoder failure will still fallback directly to
 software decoding.
 - note - this is unlikely to be useful in the vast majority of cases;
 there is often only one hardware decoder available and for those
 decoders, the pre-setup checks are good.
 - it is also advisable to setup a 'catchall' fallback profile item that
 ensures there are useful CPU and deinterlacer settings when hardware
 decoding is not available.
