Only he himself faced this topic. I have an Intel HD Graphics 620 and an Nvidia GeForce 940MX on my laptop. Only the bottom line is that the latter comes with a GM107 and GM108 chip. But I have GM108, and it does not support decoding / encoding. In this regard, it would be convenient to use such a thing on Intel.

Wanted to get this included for a long time, however, still no one with compatible hardware has come forth to package and test it.

I think my hardware supports/needs this. My laptop has an i5-1135G7 with a UHD Xe, and I have not been able to get VAAPI to work under Solus with the currently available libva-intel-driver package. I have tested using mpv both under standard Solus, and in an Arch chroot via Conty. Only the latter has functional hardware acceleration.

vainfo under Arch mentions the Intel iHD Driver, which appears to be this one, so its packaging and inclusion would be extremely appreciated (I may actually package it myself if nobody is willing to).

Anyone have any luck packaging this? I tried but the build failed for me. Feel like it may need some special attention around the setup or something.
I did try this out on another distro that packages it and noticed a difference on 'intel_gpu_tools' during video playback. With intel-media-driver, the 'VideoEnhance' engine is active. Not sure what it does, but without intel-media-driver, it's inactive on my setup. Anyway, hoping to see this package get some attention soon!

Could be an interesting Christmas present, I suppose. Seems like demand is high enough... I could give this a shot.
