I had vaapi working before on Ubuntu 22.04 (checked with intel_gpu_top) but after updating to 22.10, suddenly it stopped working.

Pressing the hotkey CTRL + H to activate hardware decoding, it freezes and then goes green or glitchy (audio is fine).

Here's information from vainfo and mpv log

What version of MPV do you have installed? I think its up to 0.35.0 now, which if you read the release notes requires FFmpeg 4.0 or newer. There are mentions of vaapi in 35 that are not in the previous version it seems, hence I ask what version of mpv you have installed.

MPV is 0.34.1 and FFmpeg is 5.1.1

Wow for the hell of it I decided to try and install 0.35.0 myself and found I cannot because the installation methods employ files that have security issues, and whilst I could override and install anyway I'm not going to. I recommend at this point you find another player

Mauro Molinari in another thread got it working in VLC it seems - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1238278/how-to-enable-va-api-in-vlc-in-ubuntu-16-04 - though that thread is somewhat old, perhaps give that a try

Tried with VLC and the same issues happens, video goes green or glitchy. Here's the logs - https://pastebin.com/VuV1nBqe - noticed in intel_gpu_top, **Video** goes to 100%

You set the codec in tools -> preferences from automatic to VA-API video decoder via X11 or DRM?

I did, both didn't work

Found the issue, it was a kernel bug, rolled back to 5.15.0-53-generic and now VAAPI is working again.

It seems that is a issue in 5.19.0-23-generic.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
