"""Detect optimal arguments for various options.
This module includes a number of constants used to attempt to detect the
options which will provide the best performance for a given OS/GPU/etc..
For most of these constants, it only matters that the best performing option
available for a given OS/platform/hardware rank first for that
OS/platform/hardware, not which OS/platform/hardware performs better. For
example, it doesn't matter if `vdpau` is lower than `cuvid` or vice versa,
because one is only available for Linux and the other for Windows. Similarly,
it doesn't matter how `amf` is ranked with respect to `cuvid` because one is
only available on NVidia GPUs and the other AMD. It *does* matter how
`cuvid`/`amf` are ranked with respect to `dxva2` because those could both be
available on the same OS and GPU.
Additions and suggestions for these constants are very much welcome,
especially if they come with benchmarks and/or good explanations from those
who understand this domain well. Contributions of more complicated or
involved detection logic may also be welcome, though the case will have to be
made more rigorously.
