With this print you have no idea either. Unless you know only Vulkan
decoder prints those messages, (that alone is a reason to remove
them), there is nothing indicative about Vulkan or even hardware
decoding in those messages, AVClass item_name is just "h264".

[ffmpeg/video] h264: Decoding frame, 15808 bytes, 1 slices
[ffmpeg/video] h264: Decoding frame, 17203 bytes, 1 slices
[ffmpeg/video] h264: Decoding frame, 16862 bytes, 1 slices
[ffmpeg/video] h264: Decoding frame, 15989 bytes, 1 slices

Also debugging if something like hw decoding is working is precisely
AV_LOG_TRACE or AV_LOG_DEBUG, not AV_LOG_VERBOSE, which in my opinion
should be still useful information for the end user, not only for
tracing purposes. "Using Vulkan hwdec on device foo" can be printed
once at the beginning of decode... "Decoding frame" messages are in
general not useful at all.

"They are bad, so I can be bad too." is non-argument. Also I don't see
exactly what you are referring to, in my experience MP4 is less noisy
than a "Decoding frame" per each frame. It really shadows valid
information in the log during decoding.
