running the stuff in the title, tried a buncha switches for chromium/electron stuff but still the load mesured with e.g. amdgpu_top doesn’t show “Media” usage. playing other stuff (VLC, Dragon, mpv) shows “Media” usage, which means those are using hardware acceleration.
edit: in the meantime tried the portable version as well, same results so it isn’t a flatpak issue.
edit 2: as @[email protected] found, running portable and flatpak with --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks under X11/Xwayland produces hardware accelerated video. that doesn’t seem to be the case with wayland, the media graph stays at 0% and there’s a buncha dropped frames with e.g. 4K video.
Stop using flatpack for open source stuff people, i will get tagged as the anti-flatpack guy but there is 3 threads a week for stuff like this.
Flatpack solves the wrong problem for the wrong people. Stop recommending it, stop using it and spread the word.
if you’d read the thread you’d see it’s not a flatpak issue. also if you spell it correctly maybe people would take you seriously.
