I don’t know what is specifically needed for your GPU, but in general we need Mesa from Packman to have hw decoding working.
which package specifically?
anyway I’ve reported it as a bug here 1236665 – hyprland package is broken or wrongly configured (dependencies incorrect?)
even kitty won’t open correctly after a new install of hyprland. something is very broken with the dependencies. I’m going to try again later with swaywm to see if I can narrow down if this is because some dep isn’t being pulled in for hyprland. hopefully sway isn’t also broken lol.
Just “Mesa” should bring in all needed dependencies (notice the i+ in the following list).
As a reference I have the following installed:
bruno@LT-B:~> zypper se -i Mesa

Oh okay I’ll try that.
Running zypper se -i Mesa shows this:

@sft No, mpv is a flatpak install. For Hyprland I use seatd as a login manager.
This is my current install (Combustion script) list for MicroOS and Hyprland;
if [ $INSTALL_HYPRLAND == 1 ]; then
echo "Installing Hyprland components..."

The Mesa packages from the OSS repo have hw-decoding disabled, so check if yours come from Packman or not.

I went back to Ubuntu and the hardware decoding worked fine first time. Idk what even went wrong on opensuse tbh. But there is something definitely screwed up with hyprland and its deps, which I raised in that bug report I mentioned earlier. I just hope someone looks at it. I’m just going to stick with sway for now as that is good enough.
I’m more concerned that the mpv hwdec works and it does under Ubuntu.
OP uses Intel, no need for Mesa from Packman here.
Ubuntu has needed codecs installed by default.
For openSUSE you need to install proprietary codecs from Packman or Videolan:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_codecs_from_Packman_repositories
There is no need to install intel-media-driver and intel-vaapi-driver both.
Intel-media-driver is newer and preferable:
You may need intel-vaapi-driver only to get semi-hw VP9 decoding with Intel hybrid driver, but it maybe doesn’t work.

I’m using Gen 7 iGPU + Intel VAAPI driver, so I don’t need this.
ILL with Intel VAAPI driver you don’t need this.

Hard to pinpoint what the exact solution was here as the issue is a bug with the hyprland opensuse package which I have raised as a bug.
I do have a better understanding of how this all works now at least.
