Details

According ffmpeg 6.0 changelog, the new version supports oneVPL.

This should require a change to the ffmpeg build flag file, but it would also be useful to have a separate package for oneVPL, which is currently included in the oneAPI mega-package on Arch.
This task depends upon

Edit:
There is also https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/onevpl in AUR

Thanks @loqs. Right, so this would require some possibly largish changes on the oneapi side. I've also notified the oneapi PM (cannot jointly assign as @kgizdov is not listed in this bug section despite being a Developer IIUC).

Actually the oneVPL packages exist in AUR. Someone should adopt them as official.
—enable-libmfx and —enable-libvpl are mutually exclusive in FFmpeg.

runtime:

I've pushed onevpl to the official repos. I'm the AUR maintainer of onevpl packages, and was just waiting for them to get more votes to push, since they seem to be low in usage.

@Toolybird As far as I know, this does not require any changes on the oneapi side. Since onevpl packages are now pushed to the official repositories, it will only require to switch ffmpeg from libmfx to onevpl.

Thanks @Bermond. Been using them with Tiger Lake and Arc GPU for long time and so for so good.

All that remains is to toggle on libvpl in ffmpeg, which can load libmfx-gen.so* and libmfxhw64.so* depending on the platforms.

Hi, is it still planned to switch ffmpeg from libmfx to onevpl ?
