So to me all looks good - but there is no hardware acceleration???

When I play the video with totem its taking way too much CPU. I removed the ~/.cache/gstreamer* .

I don't use totem but isn't there a way to tell it which video out to use?

I would recommend installing vlc or mplayer and trying again. You can install them from the RPM Fusion repo. They both allow you to choose the video driver if needed, and I wouldn't be surprised if their defaults work better for you out of the box.
