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 @thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 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.

    flatpak runs fine under wayland, no switches needed, xlsclients comes back empty.

    anyhow, tried it just now, downloaded portable, ran it with those (and other flags), media graph is still at zero. how did you verify yours is HW accelerated?
