If you have all the right bits installed, you can try enabling SPICE_GSTVIDEO_AUTO which uses decodebin. It should try vaapi elemets (and hw decoding) if possible. But to have this working nicely, we should have an easy way to setup spice-sever to use vp8 or h264 which broadens the hw decoding possibilities (and makes much easier to test too!) - So, I've started playing with that first [0] [0] https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2017-January/034815.html With that in, working on improving the client-side to handle hw decoding will be easier.
