DietPi OS for Quartz64

If this all does not help, you could try our Trixie image, where Mesa 23 and newer video player packages are available: https://dietpi.com/downloads/images/

Well, I did this and managed to get 720p and 1080p working well at least but I had to use mpv instead. I can't figure out how to configure mplayer or vlc to do hardware acceleration properly yet. I tried to do 4k video but it seems that the system isn't up to it, getting a lot of dropped frames.

So Trixie made a difference? Good to know. Hardware acceleration is not always hardware acceleration: While Mesa declares support for this GPU, it might just not yet be as good as when using Rockchip blobs, or some graphics APIs work better than others.

I was rechecking our kernel config and checked on the system itself, and the Panfrost driver as well as Mali display driver are both compiled/shipped with the kernel. If there is any other kernel driver missing which enables video decoding acceleration, that would be good to know, but I could not find any.
