Description Tristan van Berkom 2023-08-22 03:58:01 UTC

The codecs built into mesa are useful via `libva` and we are using via `gst1-vaapi` in order to run gstreamer pipelines with hardware accelerated decoding.

These codecs are now disabled by default in upstream mesa as per:
  https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/commit/7d969fe9e91e39e03041cdfac69bf33337bc2c96

And must be enabled via the new `Dvideo-codecs=` meson option.

A patch was submitted for this earlier this month:

Tristan, All,

Thanks for the report.

Your patch is still pending, amongst the 340 other still pending patches:
    https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/list/

We'll evntually get to it as tme permits. Opening a bug report will not
make the patch being considered faster, and will certainly not help
decrease the load...

So I'm closing this report.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
