I'm trying to use VDPAU but it's not working.

Setting VDPAU_NVIDIA_DEBUG=3 and VDPAU_TRACE=2 and running vdpauinfo i get the following:

$ vdpauinfo
display: :0   screen: 0
VDPAU capture: Enabled
vdp_imp_device_create_x11(0xee4c20, 0, -, -)
VDPAU nvidia: Version: NVIDIA VDPAU Driver Shared Library  355.11  Wed Aug 26 16:05:52 PDT 2015
VDPAU nvidia: Error detected 9 349  5
VDPAU nvidia: Backtrace:

    -> 1
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

Trying to play a video with mpv i get this:

[vo/vdpau] Error when calling vdp_device_create_x11: 1
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
Video: no video

I have set and exported VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia in /etc/profile

lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D" gives:

$ lspci | grep -E "VGA|3D"

Installing bumblebee and libva-intel-driver I'm able to use hardware decoding with the Intel integrated card, at least.

Arch Linux
