How to play hardware accelerated video in Raspberry Pi 2?

[archisman]

I installed Arch in my Raspberry Pi 2. It seems that omxplayer is not actively developed, and there is no AUR package for omxplayer. VLC with hardware acceleration support does not seem to be available in Arch repositories or AUR.

Does anyone know how to install omxplayer, or VLC with hardware acceleration support for Raspberry Pi?

I would preferably want to use VLC than omxplayer.

Don't think so... kodi can playback some h264 video via hardware decoding thanks to a patched ffmpeg on the RPi2 but that's it to my knowledge. The RPi4B can do more if you consider upgrading.
