Intel doesn't use Gallium (Mesa) for VA-API. You need a separate driver package for it, which we currently don't ship and the version being reviewed will not have these codecs enabled. > And we ship gstreamer1-vaapi which lets any GStreamer using application > (Totem, for example) use hardware acceleration. Hmm, I forgot about that. FFmpeg doesn't have it because ffmpeg does stupid things when the codec is available but doesn't work. GStreamer is probably more intelligent about failing over. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth! _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
