Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
Which version of system do you use? Khadas official images, self built images, or others?
Installed as 20.04 LTS from Krescue, now OOWOW, then upgraded via do-release-upgrade.
Please describe your issue below:
Is it possible to use hardware accelerated video decoding in any browser on Ubuntu? I’ve tried hard with Chromium and Firefox, but I can’t get it to work. All I get is software rendering and the highest resolution without too many dropped frames is FullHD @ 30 fps. I was hoping Wayland on 22.04 LTS could make a difference, but no, the results are the same as with 20.04 LTS.
OK, I tried mpv and the best result I could get was with mpv --fullscreen --vo=gpu --hwdec=auto <URL>. However, with UHD (3840x2160) at 25 FPS I get a lot of dropped frames to a level it’s noticeable and not usable. Is this the best the VIM3 Pro can do or am I missing some parameter/setting? I’m using the mpv that comes preinstalled with the latest Ubuntu 22.04 LTS image installed via OOWOW.
I think we missing the point of this topic. CoreElec is distro how this OS will help me with my need to be able to control video playback with hardware decoding from command line? Does CoreElec have some special player/lib which will allow me to do that without kodi and UI ?
