Make GPU acceleration work, 1080p YouTube videos play under Linux and I'll consider it.
- stunt 8y agoTry the latest version. I don’t have any issue with Youtube 1080p videos.
- dusted 8y agohad 4k video work just fine under linux in firefox for as long as youtube has had 4k videos
- Avamander 8y agoI can't call stuttering video in firefox for as long as youtube has had 1080p videos, "works just fine".
- yoasif_ 8y agoHave you set `layers.acceleration.force-enabled` to `true` in about:config? It may help.
- Avamander 8y agoLast I tried enabling that FF just started freezing randomly after, WebGL was still much slower than Chrome's and had artifacts, YouTube still didn't play 1080p smoothly. It just didn't work and reading the issue tracker they have no proper plans to fix all the acceleration issues under Linux either.
- yoasif_ 8y agoThat is too bad. What distro are you on? What version of mesa are you using?
- Avamander 8y agoKubuntu, latest mesa available from repositories. I'm monitoring the issues, will try again if some of them get resolved.
- yoasif_ 8y agoGood luck, for what it is worth, WebRender is being enabled on Linux. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1543862 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1543862
- nacs 8y agoI've been playing 1080p (and higher, like 1440p) Youtube videos on Linux without issues.
- Avamander 8y agoIf you have the CPU power to waste then maybe yeah, it plays, but it's not possible with my hardware.
- nacs 8y agoMy video is definitely hardware (GPU) accelerated. If you don’t have working hardware acceleration in Firefox for videos/WebGL, there’s something wrong with your setup, it’s not a FF problem. I and many others in this thread have no issue with this in FF.
- Avamander 8y ago"It works on my machine", really?! There's nothing wrong with my setup, there are numerous issues open on FF Issue tracker about this s*.
