It does not attempt it by default, the option can be found at Tools -> Preferences > Input&Codecs -> "Use GPU acceleration (experimental)"
But your vlc log shows that hardware acceleration is enabled (I see kind of the same in my logs): libva: va_openDriver() returns 0 xvba_video: XVBA_GetSurface(): status 2 [0x89b09c4] avcodec decoder: Using VA API version 0.32 for hardware decoding. But, your log also shows the vainfo output: Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0". This looks like an error to me, unfortunately I do not know how to fix it (as I did not experience this error myself). Hopefully someone else is able to help! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773466 Title: libva1 trying to open /usr/lib/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so ends with segmentation fault To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/libva/+bug/773466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
