Hi. I’m currently using Vivaldi browser on Wayland on an AMD 6800XT GPU on EndeavourOS. I’m looking to get Hardware Accerelated video decode on Youtube, and I’m not able to get it to work. On X11, with the approrpiate settings, I’m able to get it working, but not on Wayland.
Thank you. Turned off “Canvas out-of-process rasterization” and got the same results. It still uses CPU to decode. Not sure what else I could be missing here @Zesko
I checked nvtop on X11, it shows over ~30% GPU Usage for 4k more than Wayland.
But Wayland and X11 consume the similar CPU usage and my power meter shows that both draw the similar amount of watts.
Lucky you @Zesko . I’m still missing something here, a flag or something.
The startup flags I’m using right now are just these 2. Although no frame drops on 4K60 VP9, its clearly using the CPU. If I switch to 8K60, its a slideshow with framedrops all over.
Yes. Firefox works perfectly and I see GPU decode being used in nvtop. So, its an issue with Chromium based browsers I guess. I wish there was a way to get this working on Vivaldi on Wayland
