A verbose explanation on why video playback issues occur on H2O
This is an issue with recent drivers on modern hardware, especially seen on Nvidia GPUs.
We haven't tested AMD GPUs since we don't have those.
This is likely because the in-built video renderer on these GPUs have been broken in some form after a driver update,
and the only reason video players like VLC can play these videos using GPU acceleration is because
they utilize external third-party renderers that interface graphics hardware differently (like the stuff from K-Lite).
H2O plays videos directly off graphics hardware using those same broken in-built video renderers.
This is an issue that occurs regardless of using Windows 10 or 11.
