I'm not confused by how the "Prefer VAAPI Render Method" and "Use Sw Filter" settings work... but I'm still on Gotham, so I just pick the one that's staring me in the face. :-)
But, I do know that using VAAPI Rendering offers a noticeable improvement on CPU usage, which is why I had been eagerly waiting for someone to fix the hanging bug... but now, I'm learning there doesn't seem to be any way to use VAAPI Rendering AND avoid banding. Also, that the only way to use it with Limited RGB range involves double range conversion. Is the double conversion transparent (such that the second conversion doesn't make banding worse)?
