Hardware decoding works fine for ordinary (8-bit) h.264 video files, but fails for 10-bit ones. Instead of merely aborting entirely with "Return value 1" when (s)mplayer2 encounters a 10-bit stream while set to e. g. vdpau hw, it would be convenient if it optionally automatically tried to decode in software. Otherwise one constantly has to switch the setting, which is annoying.
