Vlc gives me this -

[00007fa1180009c8] vdpau_avcodec generic error: decoder profile not supported: 7
libva info: VA-API version 0.39.4
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i915_drv_video.so
libva info: va_openDriver() returns -1
[00007fa11800cc08] vdpau_avcodec generic error: decoder profile not supported: 7

Maybe the above helps.
