I'm using mplayer-vaapi for its VAAPI support. However, classic mplayer and its vaapi fork suffer from a bug that prevents them from contacting dual-IPv4/v6 hosts via IPv6; they try to interpret the v4 address as a v6 one (padding with zeroes), instead of using the actual v6 address. Neither mplayer2 nor mpv seem to support vaapi output. mpv depends on libva, but does not link against it. Seems there's just no good one for me.
