Details

If you just install this package, VDPAU doesn’t work OOTB with intel (e.g., with vdpauinfo, you get “Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory”). The wiki configuration step (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/VDPAU#Configuration) is not up-to-date, because nowadays, the env var isn’t needed anymore, you only need two supplemental symlinks:

/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_i965.so -> libvdpau_i965.so.1
/usr/lib/vdpau/libvdpau_i965.so.1 -> libvdpau_va_gl.so

Could you add them to the package?

Note that something similar is probably needed for proprietary radeon driver, but I don’t know exactly what symlinks are expected and don’t have any machine to test that.
This task depends upon

Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Works as expected with VDPAU_DRIVER env variable.

I was getting this message for VLC. I solved it and I've just written https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics#VLC

You didn’t solved it, you’ve changed hw acceleration backend. ;)

There is no VDPAU for Intel and there is an option in VLC to use the VA-API implementation for Intel (libva-intel-driver). I think it is the most correct way to use hardware acceleration in VLC. Any reason to use VDPAU besides OpenGL being experimental in VLC?

There is VDPAU for Intel (read the wiki page). The reason I use VDPAU on Intel is both for testing and because currently I’ve got a bug with VA-API on my system (https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/1596), that I didn’t take time to report yet.
