This is blatantly false.
- noodlesUK 7y agoUnfortunately it isn’t. You need to patch chromium to get VAAPI support (the library that leverages the hardware decoding in your cpu/gpu), and firefox doesn’t support it at all. There is hardware accelerated drawing, but decoding is all done on the CPU for the most part. It’s even more of a mess when dealing with nvidia which has its own decoding library.
- hyperion2010 7y agoAh, reading a sibling I see they mean decoding not just 3d acceleration. Indeed that is a pit, though youtube-dl and mpv do a pretty good job for a subset of content.
