Research direction

Start by tracing the d3d11vpp scaling-mode path and the existing GPU device initialization and property exposure in mpv. Identify where the current device name and ID are available, then determine how they should be exposed as properties. Done means both values can be queried and used to select scaling behavior automatically.
