Feel free to manage your own copy for you own needs. I'm just trying to do my
job of making sure we have an answers for the general use cases. I can show you
screenshot of what sad users will see when they hit that issue, it's not
viewable.

These is problems in the DMABuf support design inside VAAPI, and we need to
find a way to prevent these from breaking video playback on random people
machine, or to get that fixed by the VAAPI folks. If it's not you carrying
this, it will need to be someone else.

A typical user is a PC owner with NVIDIA + Intel Accelerator. It is quite
possible this user will want to use Intel VAAPI, because NVDEC isn't shipped by
distro, combined with their fast NVIDIA GPU. With Intel implementation of
DMABuf, this does not fail, but does not render anything viewable.
