After installing va-driver-all on fresh ubuntu 17.10 install (so ignoring the few packages that brings in)
gstreamer1.0-vaapi does still bring in libgstreamer-plugins-bad1.0-0 libopencv-core3.1 libtbb2 libva-drm1 libva-wayland1 libva-x11-1 (only 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) On Wed, Aug 2, 2017 at 10:12 PM, Daniel van Vugt <daniel.van.v...@canonical.com> wrote: > 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.
