Hello all,
is it anyhow possible to get hardware accelerated video playback to work in Firefox in a system with the Nvidia 390 proprietary driver?
To be clear:
- No Intel/Nvidia hybrid system
- No Intel onboard solution
Just a plain Nvidia GeForce GTX 550 Ti - nothing else.
I already applied all the tweaks according to https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ha … celeration.
System environment set according to the ArchWiki:

media.gpu-process-decoder: trueIf I start firefox-nightly with MOZ_LOG=PlatformDecoderModule:5, I get the following log while trying to play a video from https://tekeye.uk/html/html5-video-test-page :

At a first glance, it looks like Firefox is initializing the FFmpeg VA-API decoder which apparently fails for firefox on the VDPAU configuration described above.
Remark: Hardware acceleration in chromium and mpv works without errors, as does ffmpeg with --hwaccel=vdpau.
Does anybody know what is missing in order to get Firefox working?
