Let's try to recap...

One is standard MediaBuffer with GraphicBuffer (in 4.1), The other is in for private path to direct render to FB which can make 1080p more smooth.So, it is not possible to use private path and kHardwareCodecsOnly, right? Or can we still get a tVPU_FRAME via MediaBuffer::data() if we don't specify a native window?
MediaBuffer::data() is for 4.0 and MediaBuffer::graphicbuffer() first appear in 4.1 for more direct connect between surface and decoder.

The opaque struct contains the phycial address of video frame and some other information to make it possible to do the direct blending.Finally it comes to a zero copy. The early version of Samsung code use similiar strategy.Would you mind publishing the diff on SoftwareRenderer.cpp, too?
