Good to know about the add-ons package, been quite awhile here that I've 
used it. Generally on new install I'm just trying to play media & 
looking to see if the gst-packagekit > ubuntu-software reacts properly, 
ect. (- which it's doing a decent job atm, always some room for 
improvement..
I'd think many users also follow that path, i.e add or access media then 
follow the pop up if support isn't already available.

Bug description:
  The Intel i965 VA-API driver works well in Xorg sessions (Unity7 and
  Gnome Shell). But it refuses to load when in a Wayland session:

  $ totem bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4
  libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with unknown libva 
error,driver_name=(null)

  $ env LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=i965 totem bbb_sunflower_1080p_60fps_normal.mp4
  totem: intel_driver.c:112: intel_driver_init: Assertion

VA_DRM_AUTH_DRI2) || VA_CHECK_DRM_AUTH_TYPE(ctx, VA_DRM_AUTH_CUSTOM)' failed.

  WORKAROUNDS:

   * Use weston instead of gnome-shell; or
   * $ env -uDISPLAY totem ... # but creates corruption -> bug 1701463
   * $ env GST_GL_WINDOW=wayland totem ... # but creates corruption -> bug 
1701463
   * $ env GST_GL_WINDOW=wayland gst-play-1.0 --videosink glimagesink ...
   * $ env -uDISPLAY mpv --hwdec --opengl-backend=wayland ...
