An independent Linux alternative inspired by desktop video decode capability viewers, it inspects kernel DRM devices, DRI render nodes, installed VA-API and Mesa driver modules, and video codec acceleration support with JSON and CSV reporting. Key Features: * DRM GPU & Display Connector Inspection: Enumerates /sys/class/drm graphics cards, display connectors, supported video modes, EDID status, /dev/dri renderD nodes, and kernel driver module details including /proc/driver/nvidia when present. * Host VA-API, VDPAU & Mesa Driver Inventory: Detects installed \*\_drv\_video.so VA-API backends, Mesa \*\_dri.so drivers, VDPAU libraries, and EGL/Vulkan vendor ICD manifests with ELF architecture and byte size details. * FFmpeg HWAccels & Video Codec Matrix: Queries bundled FFmpeg -hwaccels, software and hardware video decoders/encoders across H.264, HEVC, AV1, VP9, VP8, MPEG-2, and ProRes, and measures real 720p video decode frame rate throughput. * Structured JSON & CSV Export: Exports full GPU node, driver inventory, and codec acceleration matrices to JSON and CSV reports.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed. You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE. With the repository added, import its GPG key: ``` sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh ``` Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository: ``` sudo zypper dup --from snappy ``` Snap can now be installed with the following: ``` sudo zypper install snapd ``` You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH. Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor ``` ### Install Graphics and Video Decode Inspector To install Graphics and Video Decode Inspector, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install gpu-video-caps-inspector ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
