Nice.

Something I learned recently that's worth noting, mesa is often built without it's vaapi support for proprietary codecs. Idk which formats they use to stream, but it's something to keep in mind in case you have trouble getting this to work. vainfo is your friend.

I think that's a relatively recent change in the big distros with lots of business in the US. Fedora started that afaik and Ubuntu followed.

Other distros still build mesa with full vaapi support.
