Package: src:vlc
Version: 3.0.2-0+deb9u1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
It seems that hardware decoding no longer works after Stretch got
VLC v3.
This is example from Debian Jessia VLC, when playing RTSP stream
(acceleration works):
```
[00007f372800e0a8] avcodec decoder debug: available hardware decoder
output format 53 (vaapi_vld)
[00007f372800e0a8] avcodec decoder debug: available hardware decoder
output format 109 (vdpau)

libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0

libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

"vaapi_x11"
[00007f372800e0a8] avcodec decoder: Using Intel i965 driver for Intel(R)
Ivybridge Mobile - 1.4.1 for hardware decoding.
```
Meanwhile, on Debian Stretch with VLC 3.0.2:
```
[00007fc9680898f0] avcodec decoder debug: available hardware decoder
output format 109 (vdpau)
[00007fc9680898f0] avcodec decoder debug: available hardware decoder
output format 53 (vaapi_vld)
[00007fc9680898f0] avcodec decoder debug: available software decoder
output format 12 (yuvj420p)
[00007fc9680898f0] avcodec decoder warning: thread type 1: disabling
hardware acceleration
```
It's also visible from CPU usage, and the fact that most time spent in
libavcodec library, ant not libvaapi_x11_plugin.so as in VLC v2 case
when monitoring with `perf top`.
