Older iOS devices don't have a hardware HEVC decoder, but the
software decoder offered by VideoToolbox is well-optimized and
performs much better than the ffmpeg decoder.

If there was a way to indicate this to consumers, or expose an option to turn this off, I'd say it should have that... but there's no good infrastructure to do that in an hwaccel, so whatever.
One nit; otherwise LGTM.

Bit tangential; should be its own commit. Maybe just combine the two logging changes.

I guess it's OK as long as the Apple decoder really is faster than
FFmpeg with frame threading, and it supports all features a hw decoder
also would.

The whole point of hwaccel is to get a speed advantage over the
internal decoder.

Some mechanism to indicate that a sw decoder is used (even if it's
"better") would still be good.
