This library seems unusually chatty for a base library...

    nano:~/Downloads$ vlc rewinding.webm
    VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b)
    QStandardPaths: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not set, defaulting to '/tmp/runtime-jcs'
    libva info: VA-API version 1.22.0
    libva info: Trying to open /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
    libva info: Trying to open /usr/local/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so
    libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_22
    libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0

Do we want to silence it by default?
