[Davide Capodaglio <davidecapod@xxxxxxxxx>]

Still not working for me on 14.04, I have a NVidia card with binary drivers, VDPAU and VAAPI working ok.
mplayer and gst-play-1.0 using hw acceleration, but nope for totem.
So this is supposed to work on 16.04, that also has gstreamer1.0-vaapi 0.7.0 ?

  New
Status in OEM Priority Project trusty series:
  New
Status in Totem:
  Confirmed
Status in totem package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  installing gstreamer -vaapi from ubuntu repos breaks thumbnail generation in nautilus
  furthermore acceleration does not work in totem - cpu usage is as high as with software rendering.

  mplayer-vaapi works perfectly on the same system.

  gst-launch-0.10 -v filesrc location=~/test.mkv ! matroskademux ! vaapidecode ! vaapisink
  makes it possible to use vaapi via commandline

  i did not find a way to use vaapi for mpeg4 part 2 video streams.

  and i wasnt able to find proper values for gstreamer-properties that
  fix thumbnails and acceleration in totem.

  id like to share debug information. just tell me what you need.
