minus-squareThreeLeggedChimp@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoIIRC chrome still uses the CPU to decode VP9/AV1, you need to use firefox for full hardware decode. Or use h264ify
minus-squareCasimirsBlake@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoOn an old nuc I’m using, Firefox with YouTube is a sluggish experience and hardware decide refuses to work. A lot of folks are finding the same, likely Google pushing us away from using Firefox.
minus-squareadamkex@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoFreetube might be an option for you
minus-squarealgaefied_creek@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoAny NUC has H264 decode on Linux, give Linux Mint a try? I think tho in about:config you need to set a vaapi flag to enabled.
minus-squareCasimirsBlake@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoThat’s really helpful, I’ll try that thank you. Yes the decode works fine in Chromium. It’s not that, it’s Google shenanigans.
minus-squareMaxOfS2D@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoNo, hardware decoding of VP9 and AV1 works great on Chrome; I see it working with two Nvidia GPUs and a Radeon 780M
minus-squareksio89@alien.topBlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·10 months agoWait, is it the same with Edge? My laptop iGPU (Iris Xe) has VP9 and AV1 hardware decoding, does that extension forces hardware decoding?
