I hate this piece of shit browser so much. Just spend an hour trying to get hardware video decoding on Linux to work with no success, even though it works just fine in Chromium and mpv.

Nvidia?

Why do you care whether your video is decoded in hardware or software. Is it playing poorly or are you just having a fit of autism?
Josiah Fisher
Decoding UHD videos with the CPU can cause performance issues like frame drops and freezing.
Joseph Reyes
But is it actually happening?

Run it with this environment variable and it should work
MOZ_DISABLE_RDD_SANDBOX=1

How do you enable hardware video decoding in chromium without compiling it yourself?
Levi Gomez
No, I'm using an Intel iGPU.
Hardware decoding is more energy-efficient and I want to do everything in my power to extend battery life. And I don't see why it should be so hard to enable it on Linux when it's the default on Windows.
Eli Gomez
Already tried that, no dice.
It was much easier than in Firefox.
Asher Wilson
>It was much easier than in Firefox.
Could you explain how did you do it? Chromium used to have perfectly working flags that enabled hw video decoding and it worked PERFECTLY, but somewhere around a year ago they just fucking removed it for no reason.

If you're on a laptop running on battery power, you definitely want GPU decoding.

AHAHA FAGGOT

Why would anyone want that of web browser? This is a task for multimedia player. What a weird world we're living in
Oliver Diaz
I can't browse Youtube using a multimedia player though.
Austin Williams
You can watch youtube videos on mpv
>mpv "url"
Anthony Thomas
what about sponsorblock
yt is unusable w/out it
Nathan Morales
Just download the videos if worth watching.
^This too.
John Baker
Don't you just set gfx.webrender.all to true?

>offloading decoding to the GPU which is inside your CPU
lmao, just use the CPU
