[QUESTION] Is there any way to enable hardware acceleration?
Closed this issue · 13 comments
I ask because if i put the video quality to more than 1080p it lags on my laptop, and as i know you use vlc internally it could be possible to enable it. Also, vlc works flawlessly on this same machine, thanks in advance for your answer :)
I saw that in the Sky Kit "--avcodec-hw=any" was commented out, maybe it could possibly be because of that
As this image says, its not using the video capabilities of the iGPU, as far i know vlc can use them. Sorry for my bad english and thanks for this awesome piece of software.
That's very weird, by default hardware decoding should be enabled on libVLC side.
Yeah, i tested on windows and is the same.
I think that libVLC is only using the options specified on Sky Kit.
Well, trying with or without --avcodec-hw=any does not seem to affect video decoding performances on my side.
Maybe is a libVLC thing or bug
One of the reason for the slower video on MB vs VLC is that I'm not using a native window handle + composition like we do on VLC 3.x.
But your point seems to be about libVLC video decoding specifically ?
Yes, it is. Or maybe is my PC hehehe, thanks bro for your response
Sure. You can try a few flags if you feel like building the code. I'll be glad to have improvements on the HW decoding side.
I figured out that this issue could be because some Intel processors can't decode AV1/VP8/VP9 video, so I'm gonna close the issue. Thanks for this awesome software :)

Yes, I'm on arch so the building script doesn't work correctly

Yeah, HW might be troublesome on these formats. Could improve once we switch to libVLC 4.x.
