    Shouldn't this be opened under mesa-VA-drivers as a new bug report with the same or greater severity?
    I am on a 6450, I am using radeon and I have lost vaapi on all my players since 23.3.x moved to testing. There isn't a single bug report for this and all I have found is a thread on debian forums. I commented on it, but there are no further replies, not even if 23.3.4 fixes it, which reached unstable a couple of days ago. So right now I am waiting for it to reach testing by the end of the week before posting again.

    The only patch that may fix it is this one I found on arch https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/packaging/packages/mesa/-/commit/15e037dba159f893360d642e4efa13e09682b080

    I know that mesa 24 will fix the issue, and I know it has been packaged in experimental, since I first noticed my videos showing black with vaapi, 1+ week ago.
    Sadly, mesa is a core component of the os, like systemd, policykit, or the kernel, so I won't risk installing a version that is has not even reached stable from upstream! This is one of the reasons I am on testing and not on unstable.

    Having said that, I noticed that mesa 24 was released as stable today, so I will wait until it reaches unstable at the very least before updating it.

    Last but not least, I will try and contact any arch user who was affected by the same issue so as to know if their patch actually solved it.
