Hardware decoding for VLC Video Source?

Hello, while using VLC Video Source I noticed that my CPU usage was really high for just decoding video (1080p 24/60fps clips) around 25% to 45% for 24fps and 60fps respectively, while Media Source or even VLC uses around 4 or 10% for decoding the same videos, so I arrived at the conclusion that VLC Video Source is not using my GPU to play the videos but my CPU, is it possible that someone would consider adding hardware decoding to this plugin.

hardware where I'm doing the streaming: CPU: Intel Pentium G4600 (Kaby Lake) GPU: Radeon RX 480 RAM: 16GB
