Clapper has hardware acceleration on my L5, or so it claims.

Flatpaks have newer gstreamer anyway. E.g. µPlayer also accelerates h264. I added the gstreamer bits to Byzntium for GNOME Web mostly (which might need an update to its sandboxing again (now that cameras are enabled) for this work.

If you use µPlayer from flathub it has a little green accelerometer in the OSDs top right corner to indicate hardware acceleration:
It also has --h264-demo and --vp8-demo command line options to check for support easily.

Oh just for the record: I mixed something up in my Memory. In the past i tried to encode a video (transcode with ffmpeg) from a different codec into h264 and there was the issue without license. Decode should be of course available.

Gnu core v6.10
- A clean-up in the V4L2 in the previous release, Benjamin Gaignard’s quest to create an IOCTL to remove buffers from a V4L2 queue has been merged, allowing new use cases in V4L2 like VP9 dynamic resolution change and memory usage optimizations. The first driver to make use of this evolution is VeriSilicon’s Hantro decoder.
