open-source, and in addition to Intel, can support some AMD GPU's (the open-source "Nouveau" drivers for NVIDIA
graphics are also in principle supported when VAAPI is supplemented with firmware extracted from the proprietary NVIDIA drivers).
For NVIDIA graphics with the proprietary drivers, the nvdec plugin (recently renamed nvh264dec) can be used for
accelerated video decoding on the NVIDIA GPU with CUDA. The nvdec plugin is part of gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad, but is generally not
included in binary packages, as NVIDIA's
proprietary [Video Codec SDK](https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/nvdec-video-decoder-api-prog-guide/)
must be downloaded, and three header files from it must be added to the gstreamer source before the plugin can be compiled.
Users must do this themselves: see [these instructions](https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay/wiki/NVIDIA-nvdec-and-nvenc-plugins), and
adapt them as necessary for your GStreamer installation.
This plugin should be used with the `-vd nvdec` (or nvh264dec) and `-vs glimagesink` uxplay options.
For NVIDIA graphics with the proprietary drivers, the `nvh264dec` plugin
(included in gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad since GStreamer-1.18.0)
can be used for accelerated video decoding on the NVIDIA GPU after
NVIDIA's CUDA toolkit is installed. This plugin should be used with options
`uxplay -vd nvh264dec -vs glimagesink`. For GStreamer-1.16 or earlier, the
plugin is called `nvdec`, and must be build by the user, using NVIDIA's
proprietary [Video Codec SDK](https://docs.nvidia.com/video-technologies/video-codec-sdk/nvdec-video-decoder-api-prog-guide/).
This must be downloaded, and three header files from it must be added to the gstreamer source before the plugin can be compiled: see [these instructions](https://github.com/FDH2/UxPlay/wiki/NVIDIA-nvdec-and-nvenc-plugins).
This older form of the plugin should be used with the `-vd nvdec -vs glimagesink` uxplay options.
