jump out; I don’t think you’ll get too far without a vaapi context :) The code that issues the “invalid display” comment is VAAPIContext::CreateDisplay and all it does is ask for a drawing surface with your screen dimensions, 1920x1080 or 1280x720 or whatever you’re using. 

This ties into where I was heading with my resources comment, I’m wondering what bios setting you have for this:

it seems NUCs can set aside either 1MB or 8MB of main memory for the graphics to use. 1MB is too small for video playback so if you’re configured that way it would explain the invalid display result.

If that ain’t it then I’m all out of wisdom.
