Public bug reported:

(mpv dev here)

mpv has long recommended that users who want hardware decoding start by
using `hwdec=auto-safe`. This goes through a set of hwdecs that we
consider to be safe, and it will keep trying if the first one doesn't
work. So we recommend that Ubuntu uses `hwdec=auto-safe` or `hwdec=yes`
(both do the same thing now) in the config file vs `hwdec=vaapi`. This
will produce better results on nvidia hardware and also enable the
fallback logic which will generally increase the chances of successfully
enabling hardware decoding.
