Hi, MPV can be very quickly set up to test this. If you've installed MPV from testing: mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=opengl If performance isn't good enough, try mpv --hwdec=vaapi --vo=vaapi If you like MPV, you can configure it permanently here: ~/.config/mpv/mpv.conf Add the lines: hwdec=vaapi vo=opengl or vo=vaapi, depending on which worked for you I noticed something strange in the original bug report: > > > On 2017-03-12 13:31:24, lkcl wrote: > > >> Package: i965-va-driver > > >> Severity: important > > >> Tags: upstream > > >> > > >> -- System Information: > > >> Debian Release: 7.4 > > >> APT prefers testing > > >> APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') > > >> Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > > >> Foreign Architectures: i386 Debian Release: 7.4 with i965-va-driver and kernel from Debian 9? Luke, I think your base-files needs to be upgraded ;-) Out of curiousity, does (as root) "echo n | apt-get dist-upgrade" want to upgrade anything? Cheers, Nicholas
