I have a Macbook Pro 2015 with an i5 5257u CPU with integrated Intel Iris 6100 graphics.
I recently put Manjaro Cinnamon edition on it and everything is running fine, except hardware accelerated video playback. I get insane CPU loads both on youtube playback (both firefox and chrome) and also on local file playback with mplayer. With intel-gpu-top I always see 0.00% on Video usage.
The graphics driver I’m running is video-linux, I also tried video-modesetting, it makes no difference. With video-vesa the desktop doesn’t even come up.
Here are the outputs of vainfo and vdpauinfo:
