I see the error but I do not really understand why ffmpeg-6.0 does not configure the vaapi, although it is still mentioned in current docs https://ffmpeg.org/index.html#news . checking for libavutil variant... ffmpeg checking for AVCODEC... yes checking for libavcodec/avcodec.h... yes checking for libavutil/avutil.h... yes checking for LIBVA... yes checking for LIBVA_DRM... yes checking for LIBVA_X11... yes checking for LIBVA_WL... yes checking for libavcodec/vaapi.h... no configure: error: libva is present but libavcodec/vaapi.h is missing Anyway, seems I should more focus on getting --enable-libmfx passed to ffmpeg's configure per https://ffmpeg.org/general.html to get "1.10 Intel QuickSync Video". And at least per "1.18 OpenH264" I should actually disable open264: "For decoding, this library is much more limited than the built-in decoder in libavcodec; currently, this library lacks support for decoding B-frames and some other main/high profile features. (It currently only supports constrained baseline profile and CABAC.) Using it is mostly useful for testing ...". I think should better enfore USE=-vaapi to vlc.
Why is glx configure feature deliberately disabled in media-libs/libva ebuild? See https://bugs.gentoo.org/905453#c1 It used to be guided by USE="X" variable although it was about "opengl" and "vaapi"? https://github.com/intel/libva/blob/master/va/glx/va_glx.c https://github.com/intel/libva/blob/master/configure.ac https://github.com/zaps166/QMPlay2/issues/604 I think >=ffmpeg-5 simply does not provide the file libavcodec/vaapi.h and subsequently vlc's configure bails out that it cannot fullfill the USE=vaapi requirement. But at the same time, ffmpeg version 6.0 says: $ ffmpeg -hwaccels 2>/dev/null | grep vaapi vaapi $
