I have kodi on an old mac running High Sierra and mp4 videos from my phone play with audio but no video. It works if I disable hardware acceleration, so I'm trying to find a way to disable hardware acceleration for just those type of videos. I've seen posts for a decoderfilter.xml that may do what I want, but I can't find a way to enable it. Does it still exists for Kodi 19.4 or the Macos build?

Playback of video and audio is ok for 20190828_105925.mp4

But playback of VID_20171210_090627.mp4 only has audio. The log info looks very similar for both.
