I'm pretty sure it was using hardware acceleration since the cpu usage was so low. Using mpv and forcing it to use the CPU has it jump to something like 20-25%.

- Timber-6539 3y agoIn my case with Intel hardware, how I make 100% sure that it's activated is using a program called intel-gpu-tools, with it if you run intel_gpu_top as root you'll get the video acceleration stats shown to you. Pretty sure Nvidia has something similar but am not sure about AMD.
- vladvasiliu 3y agoThere's radeontop, but it doesn't seem to say anything about video acceleration. mpv does say what it uses and complains when you ask it to do something unsupported, and since there's a clear difference in CPU usage between hardware and software decoding, I figure CPU use is a good enough indicator.
