What the fuck? How can you use Linux like this when it's lacking such basic functionality? I know there's shit like youtube-dl but that doesn't cover every use case. The web browser is the thing everyone uses all day every day, and video playback is very common. How the fuck does Linux not have this yet? It's never going to be the year of the Linux desktop if they can't get this shit under control.
works fine on my machine. even intensive twitch streams have no issue.

Wait what? I have working hardware acceleration since I was playing flash games on miniclip.
Christian Butler
but are you using intel gpu

>playing flash games on miniclip
Take me back ;_;
Brody Price
works on my machine
Matthew Johnson
Try harder.
Jaxson Bennett
no im using a dual core ryzen APU with integrated graphics
Christopher Mitchell
Your problem is old hardware, moron. Don't pretend if you're just a poorfag after all.

>Have to download a special build of Chromium from the AUR called chromium-vaapi This hasn't been true for years. Update your shitposts, Jay.

FF has this resource issue but uChromium doesn't on my machine

>No hardware acceleration, CPU usage 100% No shit. That means you should either sort out why you can't use hardware acceleration, or buy a computer with a CPU that can actually decode video in real time. The bar isn't terribly high for this either. I got a ThinkPad T440p back in 2014, it has a Haswell i7, and it still handles YouTube just fine though 8K without hardware acceleration does use a lot of CPU. I don't have an 8K monitor though, and even if I did I don't think I'd mind dropping to 4K or 1080p if I was trying to do other CPU intensive stuff, so I don't really care that much.

theyre enabling vaapi on firefox by default in version 102 (in 2 weeks, 3 top) and its already stable enough to enable it in about:config

OP is obviously using Intel
ok retard
You are an absolute moron. VLC, mpv, and mplayer all use hw acceleration just fine. The problem is obviously with the browsers. dumb fucking cunt
Jaxon Edwards
its called a manual impact driver.
god this place attracts the biggest morons
Owen Adams
works well even on haswell integrated gpu maybe get a real cpu
Cameron Richardson
Quit using trannyfox and start using Brave like a true gentleman.
