Creating any MediaPlayer, AudioOutput, or VideoOutput starts Qt Multimedia's FFmpeg backend, which probes hardware decoders (Vulkan, CUDA) on the GUI thread, adding about two seconds to every launch on an NVIDIA machine. Several Omarchy apps have hit this; the omarchy-app skill now says to keep them in a Loader that turns on with the first video, as Hype does in omacom/hype#59, and to time the window opening when adding a module.
