Public bug reported: Ubuntu 24.04 will ship with Gstreamer 1.24, which finally promoted many "va*" plugins to primary, i.e. enabled them by default and will thus be used by more apps than in the past.
I tested this on an old Thinkpad T400 / Intel GM45 and ran into a glitch. Fortunately there's pending MR (see below) fixing that - but Intel does not seem to maintain https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi- driver any more, so it will likely never get merged or released. I'd thus like to request to add the MR in question to the Debian/Ubuntu package. However, while on it, it might sense to add a few more fixes that have accumulated: - All new commits on the master branch (~7?) - https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver/pull/566, which will be needed for upcoming Wayland compositor changes. - https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver/pull/514 which fixes glitches for e.g. Gstreamer based players on very old generations (GM45). I tested/verified this one myself. - Potentially: https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver/pull/530 - unfortunately I don't have the hardware to verify this one. If you prefer, I can also try to open a MR at https://salsa.debian.org/multimedia-team/intel-vaapi- driver/-/merge_requests - but I'm not very used to the debian packaging workflow.
