Nothing in there indicates why dlopen() is a requirement. It is almost
always used for GPL circumvention, so you'd need to provide a very good
reason for why you need to do things via libdl.

I suggest taking a look at the other hwaccel codecs, and the
documentation as Nicolas suggests.

Testing if it works is kind of hard without the hardware.
