Thanks for testing.

Re extra stage - I still have no idea why the extra stage is needed but was
hoping it was fixed by 80b501c.

With respect to HQUYV v UYVY, the HQ version should give better quality on
interlaced content - it will only really manifest though on certain
material and material that is properly encoded in the first place.

Performance wise, it's telling that the rgba profile outperforms the HQ
profile. The HQ code really needs some NEON help. Full software YUV to RGBA
is pretty CPU intensive but the FFmpeg libs presumably have some pretty
good neon support.

As the other Mark has also noticed, the YV12 shaders are degrading quality
slightly with what I think is an attempt at handling the interlaced chroma
issue - but it is not working properly. I didn't want to remove the
offending code before release and without time to test alternatives.

Also worth noting that the opengl-lite profile tests are probably actually
falling back to UYVY (opengl) as I doubt the required extensions are
available on the fire stick - though possibly available on the shield
(NVidia usually support a good range of extensions).

Next steps are to start optimising the shaders a little, perhaps in a
device specific manor and to optimise the renderers generally to ensure we
are getting the best performance. For example, some GLSL compilers/devices
will probably perform better without any branching in the shaders.

I'm fairly sure we can improve the YV12 speed by using a texture for each
plane which will reduce memory access speed/latency in the shaders.
Likewise, for deinterlacing, by binding the same video texture multiple
times with a slightly different vertex offset, we can again improve memory
access.

And of course this all moot on android if we can sort out direct mediacodec
rendering:)

Regards
Mark
