No, vlc is causing the downgrade. # vim /etc/portage/package.mask/ffmpeg # emerge -pv vlc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! Dependency resolution took 3.90 s. !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "<media-video/ffmpeg-5" have been masked. !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request: - media-video/ffmpeg-4.4.4-r2::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) - media-video/ffmpeg-4.2.9::gentoo (masked by: package.mask) (dependency required by "media-video/vlc-3.0.18-r3::gentoo[vaapi]" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "vlc" [argument]) For more information, see the MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook. * IMPORTANT: 18 news items need reading for repository 'gentoo'. * Use eselect news read to view new items. # USE=-vaapi emerge -pv vlc These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies ... done!

Per graphics in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IntelQuickSyncVideo it seems having the latest ffmpeg is the key step ahead.
I just blocked <=media-video/ffmpeg-6.0 to prevent it.

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 $ (In reply to Martin Mokrejš from comment #8) > Why is glx configure feature deliberately disabled in media-libs/libva > ebuild?
