I forgot to reply: of course I would accept a patch that returns PATCHWELCOME for HEVC if the alternative is that the code crashes and explodes into the users' face...
Or just not advertise hwaccel if multi-threading is enabled.
Breaking code that currently works like H.264 to disallow this I would indeed mind though.

Though that as preferred by me indeed.
