libvdpau takes the VDPAU driver "vendor" name from the DRI2 extension. If you have Intel HD Graphics, that will be i965. The error is printed by libvdpau.
The problem lies between libvdpau, and the VDPAU driver or lack thereof. vdpauinfo, mplayer, mpv and VLC can do nothing about it. In my opinion, the VA-GL driver should create the libvdpau_i965.so, e.g. as a link to libvdpau_va_gl.so ** Package changed: vlc (Ubuntu) => libvdpau-va-gl (Ubuntu) ** Package changed: vdpauinfo (Ubuntu) => libvdpau (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1300215 Title: Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvdpau/+bug/1300215/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
