alt Hacker NewsRecently added support for Linux to VLC for Unity, with full hardware decoding.
It uses OpenGL rendering through GLX and EGL, with DMA-BUF texture sharing to pass video frames efficiently to Unity’s renderer.
Only x86_64 is supported at this time. In the future, I will add ARM64 support as well as Vulkan.

Don't forget to build 'correct' ELF64 binaries for broad elf(glibc)/linux distro support (-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++, and tight glibc ABI version control with binutils VERSION scripts).
At least those build options should be default.

Thank you very much.
Would it not be more efficient to create the decoder in-process, then you could feed it the bitstream via a compute buffer, and the video would be rendered to a texture.
