Ales, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

As per
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=6943827&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(1.16). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Can't use hardware decoding (vaapi) with fglrx: Assertion `buffers'
  failed

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  mpv --hwdec=auto movie.mkv gives this:

    libva info: VA-API version 0.38.0
    libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
    libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
    libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_38

    Using hardware decoding (vaapi).

    mpv: dri2_util.c:132: dri2GetRenderingBuffer: Assertion `buffers' failed.
    (SIGABRT) (core dumped)

  I have hybrid graphics Intel Haswell and AMD Radeon R5 M255.
  I have installed fglrx-updates and in AMD Catalyst control center switched to dedicated GPU.
  I seems to me that this setting is ignored and hardware decoding is tried on Intel instead.
