Public bug reported: The version of gstreamer forked for Ubuntu 20.04 has the commit to remove Mesa from the whitelist but doesn't have the commit merged later to readd it to the whitelist.
Removal: https://github.com/GStreamer/gstreamer- vaapi/commit/a90daabb84f983d2fa05ff3159f7ad59aa648b55 Reintroduction: https://github.com/GStreamer/gstreamer- vaapi/commit/7a186975cc209f1f4d75e902144563e76ce3a14c I have tested that readding it to the whitelist works: Before: https://gist.github.com/99daafcff32cf650b5fe11315c01a27d After: https://gist.github.com/e2a31779f05b706c9347bcf7277def3d To change the whitelist, I did: sudo sed -i -e 's/Intel i965 driver/Mesa Gallium driv/g' /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstvaapi.so That changes the whitelist entry for the i965 driver to the Mesa driver for amdgpu. Picking the reintroduction patch linked above and spinning a new version should be enough.
