I was kinda playing around with this to see if I could get something closer to what I need (2.9) to build on FreeBSD, currently the best one I can get is like 1.5 from 2022 from ports, but it actually wasn't too much work. FreeBSD uses
onevpl before it was renamed I guess,

/usr/ports/multimedia/onevpl oneVPL-2022.1.5/
I need something a little bit newer for OBS (to build the qsv driver): I could potentially build an older version of obs but not really because old QT vs new QT problems before 30 and the latest is 32 so I figured what the hell, this could be interesting. I guess I'll see if it works but I thought I'd give you a heads up incase I never get that far. Lately they've been wanting to improve the FreeBSD landscape a bit and make it more suitable for laptops which if you ask me like if you don't have things which use the graphics pipeline it's a wonder how you're getting any life out of your battery. I don't think even Linux handles using the graphics piplines for encode/decode very well (most of the time I have to find and install something that isn't part of any normal user experience as you might expect.)

Anyway I will test this and mess with it some more when I get chance (it does at least build now)
