Hi, I downgraded to 2.2.7-1~deb9u1. As I remembered I can increase the speed up to 64x. The messages in the console are the following:
VLC media player 2.2.7 Umbrella (revision 2.2.7-0-g6e32381286) [000055798d591178] core libvlc: Running vlc with the default interface. Use 'cvlc' to use vlc without interface. Failed to open VDPAU backend libvdpau_i965.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory There is nothing about VA-API, nor profile(3). So I wonder what is going on... Anyway, what about the optirun? I think I did see in some forums people complaining about it (so it is not just my issue).
