Re: 4k video playback on some videos makes entire system sluggish

Hi,

You might try uninstalling mesa-va-drivers and replacing with this:
mesa-va-drivers-freeworld

one of my 2 machines was ok and a 2nd one looked closer to what yours
looked like.

And replacing with freeworld it now looks much better and has a lot
more accelerators.

I've done that, and now it definitely appears to have more support, but alas, it made no difference.

$ vainfo The.Equalizer.mkv

libva info: VA-API version 1.18.0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/dri/radeonsi_drv_video.so

      VAProfileJPEGBaseline           : VAEntrypointVLD
      VAProfileNone                   : VAEntrypointVideoProc

I also just tried to play two regular 1080p videos at the same time using vlc, and it also showed the same problem where the system becomes effectively unusable.

Thanks,
Alex
