libva

I launch Spotify, it hangs. I will write the command spotify --disable-gpu:

libva error: va_getDriverName() failed with unknown libva error,driver_name=(null)

(spotify --disable-gpu:3962): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:40:42.260: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:1422:23: 'font-feature-settings' is not a valid property name

(spotify --disable-gpu:3962): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:40:42.266: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:3308:25: 'font-feature-settings' is not a valid property name

(spotify --disable-gpu:3962): Gtk-WARNING **: 12:40:42.268: Theme parsing error: gtk.css:3770:23: 'font-feature-settings' is not a valid property name

I get a very similar error:

libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)

No clue how to debug it.

mesa version is 23.1.1, glibc 2.37, libva is 2.18.0.

Perhaps these warnings could become better in the long run - they kind of spam into the terminal and I'd happily try to help solve it, but right now I simply have absolutely no idea how they relate to the system. (I think I am using the nvidia proprietary code from manjaro; my graphics card is NVIDIA Corporation GK208B [GeForce GT 730] (rev a1)).

Ah - one immediate improvement I would like to suggest is for that libva error to show the context. I believe it is due to my browser (thorium, aka chrome-based) and perhaps some video (I am constantly watching or listening to youtube videos in the background), but I really don't know (I start thorium from KDE konsole, commandline, typically).

So if possible, perhaps you guys could add a bit more information to this? Such as the program that triggered this and the overall context. It's ok to use an additional sentence there, C hackers often love super-simple messages. I love clear and precise messages that try to be helpful to non-C hackers too.
