Well, generally speaking VA API is kinda bad for video output (e.g. the OSD is generally low quality, and in some cases the OSD and subtitles can't even be drawn at the same time). I've never really used the VA API backend though, but this seems to be upstream's opinion as well. As for video decoding, you can enable vaapi-powered hardware decoding with the opengl backend too (manually using the hwdec=vaapi option, since IIRC it's not auto detected). The only useful thing about VA API video output is probably lower power consumption on laptops, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to enable it by default instead of, say, the opengl backend. You can however set it as default in your configuration file so that you don't have to always pass --vo=vaapi, if that's what you want. Or, idk, you can also use libvdpau-va-gl, but setting the configuration option is probably a better idea. Cheers -- perl -E '$_=q;$/= @{[@_]};and s;\S+;<inidehG ordnasselA>;eg;say~~reverse'
