PR 24121 fixes incorrect defaults in the frozen recordings API, a focused correction that affects how recording data is…
On the stability side, NickM-27 refactored how hardware stats are gathered in PR 24150, moving away from relying primarily on ffmpeg presets toward a more consistent detection method — this should make hardware reporting more accurate across different detector setups.
