It is also not enabled by default on systems that provide only hybrid acceleration. But you can of course enable it manually during (or after) installation. In previous versions of the codec pack hardware acceleration was always disabled by default. So for most users, nothing changes.
• Please report if your GPU or its capabilities are not detected correctly

At this moment the decoder only works with high-end Intel (HD 4600/5x00/6x00) and NVIDIA (GTX 680/780/870/880/Titan) GPUs. Latest graphics driver is also required.
