Firefox Beta 136 enables hardware accelerated video decode for AMD on Linux

[bigdaddyslim@lemmy.world]

Same here, had Firefox installed since I got this phone in September and it's still off (also just checked)

[ryannathans@aussie.zone]

I thought it always was lol

[inverted_deflector@startrek.website]

I could have sworn they did this already a while back.

[timewarp@lemmy.world]

This is like the 6th time they've claimed this. I was attacked before for saying this wasn't working correctly.

What about Intel? I’ve been trying to get hardware acceleration on Firefox all day yesterday with no luck.

[that_leaflet@lemmy.world]

Weird, it's been working for me for a while. I just need to manually set "media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled" to true in about:config.

[fossphi@lemm.ee]

It's been working fine since a couple years ago on Intel. It works on my Intel machines with both old and recent cpus

Use a fork of Firefox that doesn't do that. For example, Ironfox

[darkcloud@lemmy.world]

LibreWolf and FireFoxFocus.

I guess he means whenever he reinstalls it. As IT, whenever I'm setting up something new on some server etc I have to go through those settings over an over. Not much different from the MS bullshit to try and reduce data collection.

[umbrella@lemmy.ml]

its already working for me

[laurelraven@lemmy.zip]

Zen browser is pretty interesting too

[kyouki@lemmy.world]

Could be wrong, but it's not about working but rather that it is now enabled by default.

Which may haven't been the case, I suppose?

[gnuplusmatt@reddthat.com]

Fedora's repo build has had this turned on for literally years

[dino@discuss.tchncs.de]

Who on linux is playing videos in the browser??

[mvmike@lemmy.ml]

Aren't those browser settings and not user settings? I see your point and maybe those should be user settings, but saying that "Firefox on android keeps turning it’s Data Collection options on" is misleading

[bytejunk@lemmy.world]

I still can't play my videos on Firefox without transcoding them, so I honestly hope they get it right this time.

[jim3692@discuss.online]

Have you tried Fennec?

[jim3692@discuss.online]

I do. When I watch Odysee.

Anyone who uses YouTube et al. or any number of non-DRM (Widevine) streams?
