what did you try? what is your config now?
we aint doing the work for you

gpu-context=x11
gpu-api=opengl
hwdec=vaapi-copy

Its not like there is much I can change

Are you on wayland? Can you get a hardware decoder running and confirm it's running by checking the stats (it should tell you what hwdec is running in the video line)?

KDE so x11

Looks like my HD3000 doesn't support 4k for some reason it wasn't throwing up those errors until I restarted
[ffmpeg/video] h264: Hardware does not support image size 3840x2160 (constraints: width 0-2048 height 0-2048).
[ffmpeg/video] h264: Failed setup for format vaapi_vld: hwaccel initialisation returned error. still these videos play in vlc without dropping frames

here is a different video thats not 4k
Using hardware decoding (vaapi-copy).
AO: [pulse] 48000Hz stereo 2ch float
VO: [gpu] 1280x720 nv12

fucked up code tags im not going to fix it

try gpu-context=x11probe and hwdec=vaapi and see what the log says

[vo/vdpau] VDPAU is most likely emulated via VA-API.
[vo/vdpau] This is inefficient. Use --vo=gpu instead.
[ffmpeg/video] h264: Hardware does not support image size 3840x2160 (constraints: width 0-2048 height 0-2048).

vo=gpu
[vo/gpu] Failed initializing any suitable GPU context!
Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (--vo) device.
Video: no video

are you using a downloaded 4k video? how do you know vlc is playing it with hwdec?
or you may need to update your drivers/use the right driver
