In my log I keep seeing this kind of warning when artwork is pulled to the music OSD:
Code:2019-05-03 18:07:11.474 T:2826888048 DEBUG: ffmpeg[A87EE370]: [swscaler] No accelerated colorspace conversion found from yuv420p to bgra.

As far as I can tell this means that ffmpeg is either outdated or wrongly configured when scaling images so there's always a small CPU cost involved. Is there anything that can be done to achieve accelerated scaling?
Looking at the code on ffmpeg for libswscale (yuv2rgb.c) it appears that hardware acceleration is only available for power pc and x86 architectures. It doesn't look like the code has changed since 2014. I don't know if there is something Kodi needs to do when building to turn on this function.
