    Was there a link to the project on Github? I think that you've mistakenly shared Github's search tool/path

    Cool, have been using vulkan video decoding via mpv for a while now and it seems fine with little or no performance hits. Glad it's made its way here as getting hardware decoding to actually work in ff has felt like a house of cards (more options are welcome). Does something need to be done to enable/switch to it?

    Interesting - will see if I can toy with it.Word of caution though. I’ve found that on my machine (Linux/nvidia) unaccelerated video is way more power efficient. The second video is playing it kept the GPU in a high power state and that uses incrementally more power than the cpu doing software decodingI had always assumed gpu would obviously be more efficient until I measured it
