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:
Applications
Chromium
Needs a patch for VA-API support, see nixpkgs#21481 for current status.
