Description
I just noticed #19165 and I can confirm that threaded video works on Metal but the front end option to enable it is hidden from here 79564f6. Is there a reason for this or a small oversight? Please expose it if it’s safe to do so.
Edit: the actual changes are in 0a8b5dad747a.

Start by comparing the frontend option around commit 79564f6 with the actual changes identified in commit 0a8b5dad747a, focusing on threaded video for macOS Metal. Confirm whether exposing the option is safe, then verify that the frontend presents and enables it correctly without affecting other backends.
