Public bug reported: (mpv dev here)
mpv has long recommended that users who want hardware decoding start by using `hwdec=auto-safe`. This goes through a set of hwdecs that we consider to be safe, and it will keep trying if the first one doesn't work. So we recommend that Ubuntu uses `hwdec=auto-safe` or `hwdec=yes` (both do the same thing now) in the config file vs `hwdec=vaapi`. This will produce better results on nvidia hardware and also enable the fallback logic which will generally increase the chances of successfully enabling hardware decoding. ** Affects: mpv (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2063482 Title: mpv should be configured with hwdec=yes or hwdec=auto-safe rather than hwdec=vaapi To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mpv/+bug/2063482/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
