Describe the bug
I tried to use the new hardware decoding feature on fedora with scrcpy --hwdec=vaapi but I get a green screen with the following error log.
Already installed VA-API driver with dnf install libva-nvidia-driver and tried the wayland fix with export SDL_VIDEODRIVER=wayland and libdecor (was already installed by default).
