Steps to reproduce

Play any video on totem with gstreamer vaapi installed.

Expected result

Totem should play as non gstreamer applications plays/decodes using vaapi.

Actual Result

It shows a black window, and frozen.

gst-launch1 playbin plays just fine.

gst-launch1 logs

gst-launch-log.log <- this log is wrong, look for the other log in this issue.

Update

The issue is due to mesa-vaapi+wayland+GST_CAPS_FEATURE_META_GST_VIDEO_GL_TEXTURE_UPLOAD_META gstreamer-vaapi uses eglExportDRMImageMESA and mesa-vaapi does not support creating a surface from a gem buffer. But mesa-vaapi supports creating a surface from dmabuf so we need to make gstreamer-vaapi to use eglExportDMABUFImageMESA when gem is not supported.
