Accelerated Video Playback

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

Sample configuration:

 {
   ...
   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:
