Public bug reported: On my laptop with an Intel Core i7-7500U CPU (Kaby Lake), the iHD VA-API driver does not report VAEntrypointVideoProc support in the output of vainfo:
libva info: VA-API version 1.17.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_17 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.17 (libva 2.12.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 23.1.2 () vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointEncPicture VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile2 : VAEntrypointVLD Normally I'd expect to also see a line like: VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc Among other things, this causes Totem to malfunction with the error "GStreamer element vaapipostproc is required to play the file, but it is not installed". Presumably it assumes that if hardware accelerated decoders are available, so is post processing. This seems like it might possibly be related to bug 2019831, but that was about problems in Jammy and the version it suggests should fix the problem is older than what's shipped in Lunar. Either they reintroduced the problems, or it wasn't really fixed.
