That's unfortunate.

I guess you're referring to your vlc commit e57d32f [1] as a reaction to
ffmpeg commit 31741ae [2].

Why did you not disable frame-threading when using hwaccel, as the ffmpeg
commit message suggests?

If you have a good reason for that the change in ffmpeg can be re-evaluated.

Best regards,
Andreas
