away from nvidia graphics?
If the former, could you recommend an [extra] or [community] / officially
supported mplayer-based or mplayer-like package other than mplayer-vaapi
that is accelerated on machines that use nvidia drivers? Non-VAAPI mplayer
seems to have terrible performance for me compared to mplayer-vaapi.
This is an important media-playing package that should not be dropped,
IMO. I'm not a TU, but is it possible someone else would pick it up, if
there is no supported VAAPI-enabled mplayer fork?
Well, mplayer vaapi git repo is unmaintained and out of date and it lags
way behind the official mplayer package.
There's always mpv in community, which is a fork of mplayer and
mplayer2, yet way more evolved than both of them. And it even supports
VAAPI.
