[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1424201] Re: Web browsers lacking hardware-accelerated video decoding
I only tested a 13th gen U chip in the above comment. It looks like 13th gen P chips should be supported so long as: intel-media-driver >= 22.3.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2 (per bug 2004237) which it looks like snaps are shipping with now. Newer Intel 14th gen and Ultra chips might not be supported yet, but if so then please log a new bug about that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424201 Title: Web browsers lacking hardware-accelerated video decoding Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in chromium-browser package in CentOS: Unknown Bug description: This is a Meta Bug for GPU accelerated video decoding on Ubuntu/Linux browsers.

Verified working in firefox (Wayland) on both Intel 12th and 13th gen systems. intel_gpu_top shows hardware video decoding is in use straight out of the box when viewing YouTube. The firefox snap versions tested were 122.0-2 and 122.0-2.1, both Noble systems. Caveat: intel_gpu_top also shows very high values for Render/3D, so it's not power efficient.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1424201]
I've recently spent some time testing the implementations in various browsers. Chromium implements VA-API but it's disabled in official builds and fragile, breaking regularly. Webkit uses gstreamer-vaapi and I've had quality issues with that using both Intel (wrong colours) and AMD (blur) hardware. I've seen Mozilla tracks issues for VA-API and VDPAU/NVDEC. Have you seen libplacebo[1]? It encapsulates the core video rendering used in mpv in a reusable library. mpv's video acceleration has been stable and flawless for both VAAPI and NVDEC (and DXVA, FWIW, but I've no experience with that) for years. In contrast to the browsers' and gstreamer va-api implementations, I've never had performance, stability or quality issues with mpv. In fact, hundreds (thousands?) of Firefox users use several WebExtensions to have videos played in mpv[2],[3],[4]. I haven't worked with either Firefox or mpv code so I can only speak from a user's perspective right now. I just thought, it might be worth to consider implementing libplacebo instead of rolling an own implementation for va-api and vdpau/nvdec. libplacebo is licensed in LGPLv2.1. Note: I initially wanted to post this in #1210726, quoting first comment: > This bug will track support for hardware decoding on Linux and the various > system available (VA-API, VDPAU, DXVA and others) > > There's so many frameworks available, it's hard to keep track!

Although this bug is only about decoding support, I'd like to leave a note about the rendering: AFAIK rendering without any slow copies requires DMABUF support, so processes can share resources on the GPU. For the Wayland backend this about to land, see bug 1552590, quote: > Wayland dmabuf surface are located in GPU and can be attached as EGLImage or wl_buffer. It allows direct rendering to GPU and share the HW buffer across processes.

We have a generic preference to disable hardware acceleration, I'll hook it up to vaapi, but I have no intention at this stage to make specific cases for particular chipset.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1424201] Re: Web browsers lacking hardware-accelerated video decoding
As stated by Daniel, the problem is one of maintenance. Maintaining a patch against a large and fast-moving code base such as chromium has a cost, which is why it's always preferable to have such changes upstreamed. As it is clear that upstream is not going to enable hardware-accelerated video decoding on Linux anytime soon (if ever), the distro patch is indeed the way to go. That fedora patch is relatively small and maintainable as it is today, so I'll update the snap package to include it (until now it was in a dedicated channel). In response to comment #92, there is a plan to deprecate the chromium- browser deb package in favour of the snap in the near future, so development and testing focus is on the snap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424201 Title: Web browsers lacking hardware-accelerated video decoding Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in Mozilla Firefox: New Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in chromium-browser package in CentOS: Unknown Bug description: The chromium team has done a great job to totally disable hardware decoding on Linux.

The current upstream effort is tracked at https://chromium- review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/532294. However it doesn't seem to be getting much traction. I am reluctant to distro-patching as it's a rather large patch that often gets outdated with new chromium versions, with non-trivial conflicts to solve that sometimes involve re- architecting. I am in the process of transitioning to snaps as the official way of getting chromium updates on Ubuntu.
