[HW Accel Support]: Camera with multiple codecs

[stephenpapierski]

Describe the problem you are having

I have a Reolink RLC-820A which uses h264 for the substream and h265 for the main stream. I'm using an NVIDIA GTX 1060. How do I add multiple hw_accel_args for the different streams?

you don't need to add multiple hwaccel args, the recording stream is not decoded

[stephenpapierski]

That makes perfect sense, thanks!
