This page is meant to help with techniques for getting accelerated video playback working in NixOS.

This is done by adding relevant libva-related packages to the hardware.opengl.extraPackages option.

Additionally, the vaapiIntel package can be overriden to enable Intel's Hybrid Driver.

Sample configuration:

 {
   ...
   nixpkgs.config.packageOverrides = pkgs: {
     vaapiIntel = pkgs.vaapiIntel.override { enableHybridCodec = true; };
   };
   hardware.opengl = {
     enable = true;
     extraPackages = with pkgs; [
       vaapiIntel
       vaapiVdpau
       libvdpau-va-gl
     ];
   };
   ...
 }
 

Prepared Hardware configuration

Sometimes different opengl packages are required to achieve full performance. You can check different configuration repositories for similar hardware configuration:
