Not sure I follow, did you possibly mean:
It's not possible to get VA-API to work in FF 80 on X11 or Wayland because VA-API has been broken since FF 79. The fix will be in FF 81.
Just guessing, I have not looked into the topic except in this thread. What would be the bugzilla id for that?
- bleepblorp 6y agoReplace the '88' with '80'. VA-API hardware video acceleration was broken in Firefox 79 and won't be fixed until Firefox 81. Therefore, it's not possible to make VA-API work, under either Wayland or X11, in Firefox 80. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1656436 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1656436
- usr1106 6y agoSo to put it cynically: In FF 80 the situation is crystal clear, not at all confusing as the original article claims: It doesn't work. In FF 81 it will be confusing to the non-experienced again: You need to fiddle with config and environment variables. Well, unless a new bug comes up...
