Cant find vaapi in Smplayer

[bsd007]

Hi,
When using Linux I used to enable vaapi in Smplayer.

Cant find it in OpenBSD's version of Smplayer.

Please see attachment.

mpv does have it :
http://ports.su/multimedia/mpv

mpv is a fork of mplayer2 and MPlayer. Its option parser was improved
to behave more like other CLI programs, and many option names and
semantics were reworked to make them more intuitive and memorable.
Instead of default GUI it provides a small controller interface that is
triggered by mouse movement. OpenGL video output is capable of many
features loved by videophiles, such as video scaling with popular high
quality algorithms, color management, and more, as well as of hardware
decoding using VDPAU and VAAPI.

And Smplayer supports, mpv,

What is mpv?
mpv is based on MPlayer and provides new features and bug fixes.

Some of its most interesting features:

Possibility to display two subtitles at once
Play videos from video sites, like Youtube, DailyMotion, Vimeo, Vevo and many more.
Support for MKV ordered chapters
Precise seeking
Native support for VAAPI and VDA. Improved VDPAU
Better support for taking screenshots
Frame back step

It goes on to explain:

How to enable mpv in SMPlayer

To use mpv instead of MPlayer, open the SMPlayer preferences dialog and select mpv as multimedia engine in the General tab.

@GarryR

I am already using mpv with smplayer. How do I select vaapi ?

My listing of backends of mpv also shows that vaapi is not available. I use OpenGL backend as replacement.

$ mpv -vo help

  sdl            : SDL 2.0 Renderer
  x11            : X11 (slow, old crap)

Done.
