Oh, I see, sorry.

gstreamer1.0-vaapi depends on:  libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0
which is not "the bad plugins" package:  gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad
but it is an obviously-related support library still.

I'm working in this area lately so will see how feasible it is to loosen 
that dependency.

5 MB).

This doesn't block us adding it to the restricted sets, but might
complicate getting it in main.  (I wonder if opencv might end up
heading for main eventually anyway.  Definitely useful in
embedded/drones but might also be involved in the future of webcams -
think Intel RealSense)

Doug, I bring good news...

gstreamer1.0-vaapi actually does not depend on the "bad" plugins, or any
other gstreamer plugins.

And yes you are right mpv is much better than totem for performance and
smoothness. I hope to bring totem up to the same standard eventually.

totem/gst-vaapi will work in a Wayland session after we release my fixes in
17.10. You can try an early version here:

gstreamer1.0-vaapi currently deps on the bad plugins, are you all going to
change that?

For the most part it's worked well over the past couple of years, not
nearly as efficient as vaapi in mpv but still a decent reduction in cpu use.

(- probably 20 -35% of what totem would use without, similar to what vlc
does when vlc happens to work.

Though atm it, (totem/gst-vaapi) doesn't seem to work at all in wayland
session, actually only mpv does sans window deco..

 I would like to add a couple to that list though:
  - va-driver-all (should include i965-va-driver)
  - gstreamer1.0-vaapi



Is there value in getting them promoted to main for 18.04?  I think the
codec licensing is taken care of by the graphics hardware vendor so I think
we should be ok there.  If Totem will pull them in automatically that's good
- but I'd love to be able to go one step further and have them "in the box".
