Before starting CinelerraGG, set an environment

the capability of testing across all hardware and all
operating system distros, we used an environment

<p>Dreams still come true. Thank you very much for this improvement.</p>
<br>
I tested it the same way, but I get the error message.<br>
<br>
Decoder h264 does not support device type vaapi.<br>
HW device init failed, using SW decode.<br>

err: Success<br>
<br>
Under OpenSuse I installed the following package.<br>
zypper install libva-devel-2.4.0-lp150.114.1.x86_64.rpm<br>
<br>
In the Cin settings I have set it to X11. However, I have installed
the proprietary drivers, do I need to change this?<br>
<br>
<p>Thanks again for this implementation.</p>
