Description Martin Andersen 2015-06-04 14:25:10 UTC 
libva 1.5.0 introduced the following changes to the API:

API: add support for HEVC decoding

However, I notice this functionality is currently not implemented for Ivy Bridge and Haswell systems (and apologies if there is a technical reason for why such is the case.)

Under supported profile and entrypoints, the 'VAProfileHEVCMain' & 'VAProfileHEVCMain10', et al., profiles are missing.

Full vainfo when running with the latest 1.5.1 libva on IVB (HD2500):

libva info: VA-API version 0.37.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_0_37
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
vainfo: VA-API version: 0.37 (libva 1.5.1)
vainfo: Driver version: Intel i965 driver for Intel(R) Ivybridge Desktop - 1.5.1

[The VAProfileH264MultiviewHigh & VAProfileH264StereoHigh appear to be missing there as well.]

We haven't plan to support HEVC on IVB/HSW
