Hi everybody. With libvlc 2.1.6 (Ubuntu 14.04) I was able to use an Intel hardware acceleration with --avcodec-hw=any. It used VAAPI and everything worked fine. With libvlc 2.2.2 (Ubuntu 16.04) --avcodec-hw=any doesn't work and --avcodec-hw=vaapi doesn't work too. However, --avcodec-hw=vaapi works fine in a desktop version on VLC (sample command line: vlc --avcodec-hw=vaapi video.mp4). It doesn't work with libvlc only. What is the preferred way to use VAAPI with livblc 2.2.2?
