The Video Player has accumulated quite a few small bugs and inconveniences over time. If technically possible, I would greatly appreciate it if these issues could be addressed.

Black Flickering Issue with AVPro Player
This problem started occurring shortly after the switch to Unity2022.
The latest versions of iwaSync and YamaPlayer include their own workarounds, but older versions of iwaSync/YamaPlayer (when using AVPro) as well as players without custom fixes such as TopazChat Player still suffer from black flickering.

Video Stuttering During RTSP Playback in Specific Conditions
Especially in crowded instances on lower-spec PCs, When streaming RTSP at 60fps while VRChat is running at around 20fps, the video becomes noticeably choppy.
Although switching the RTSP stream to 30fps currently avoids the issue, many users set OBS to 60fps because the TopazChat Player distribution page states that 60fps minimizes audio delay.

Request to Move Video Player Processing to a Separate Thread
Especially in crowded instances on lower-spec PCs, video playback often freezes for a moment due to various other processes. With RTSP streams, these interruptions cause playback delay to accumulate.
The main causes include:
  • Loading process when someone joins or when an avatar is changed
  • Photo capture processing
  • Display/hide toggling when culling is enabled
  • Loading of stage effects on world
VRChat's current CPU processing relies heavily on specific thread performance. On modern CPUs, specific thread often maxes out at 100% usage while the remaining threads (including E-cores and CCD1) stay underutilized.
Separating the Video Player's processing into its own unrelated thread could potentially resolve these stuttering and lag issues. It may also allow better utilization of currently idle CPU cores.
