intel: add intel-media-driver #131

Provides hardware accelerated video playback from Broadwell onwards.
Sorry I missed your comment on the other thread, I don't know why I never sent it... this looks good to me too. Thanks! |
I would like to verify that this doesn't break sandy bridge, but I have no way of doing so :( |
I vote to merge and hope for the best. Other option is to inject /proc/cpuinfo into the configuration somehow |
Should this not also enable the HuC firmware, whatever that is? https://github.com/intel/media-driver/blob/master/README.md#known-issues-and-limitations |
Sandy bridge testers becomes quite rare these days. |
I've got sandy bridge but my chipset doesn't support the integrated video card :/ |
@wmertens regarding HuC, there's some info on the Arch wiki, and a defintion of what it is here. And a pretty nice chart of supported features on each architecture, courtesy of the Gentoo wiki. |
And it seems like HuC is only required/supported from Skywell onwards?
Which means we should make it conditional. Broadwells are still pretty common, I reckon. |
Provides hardware accelerated video playback from Broadwell onwards.
Older boards (e.g. Sandy Bridge) are not supported. I'm not sure if they should specifically be excluded.
