    With Ubuntu 20.04 and Qt 6.2.0 I was able to play mp4 videos with hardware acceleration using QtMultimedia:

        MediaPlayer {
        id: mediaBackground
        videoOutput: videoOutput

        onErrorOccurred: { console.log(mediaBackground.errorString) }
    }

    VideoOutput {
        id: videoOutput
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        width: 1080
        height: 1920
    }

    After upgrading to Ubuntu 21.10, I cannot play videos anymore. vlc instead can play them smoothly.
    I have an Intel HD Graphics 500.

    Here the packages I installed:
