Out of the box, the Raspberry Pi (any model) only provides
hardware-accelerated H.264 decoding, and software needs to be written in a
particular way to take advantage of it.  Spending a few dollars on license
keys enables MPEG-2 and VC-1 (?), but software support for those is likely
to be even sketchier as I suspect few people go to the trouble.  VP9 is
always going to be software-decoded, which will likely be iffy on anything
less than a Raspberry Pi 3.  (A 64-bit OS might help...but last I checked,
Raspbian is still a 32-bit userland.)
