VP9 not hardware accelerated

Hello,
I discoverd that playing a video on youtube or playing some game in web browser(shake&fidget for example) uses the cpu so much(4k video around 25% and the game around 50%). I searched arch wiki and installed libva, libva-vdpau-driver-chromium(aur) and libvdpau-va-gl.
vainfo output:

Decoder name: VpxVideoDriver
Hardware decoder: false
Decrypting demuxer: false

Aduio decoder
Decoder name: FFmpegAudioDecoder
Hardware decoder: false

I have these flags enabled in brave:
#ignore-gpu-blocklist
#enable-gpu-rasterization
#enable-zero-copy
#enable-accelerated-video-decode

My spec:
CPU: Ryzen 7 2700X
GPU: RTX 2070 SUPER
Web Browser: Brave(brave-bin)
I have both nvidia and nvidia-utils installed.

Help please :)

Re: VP9 not hardware accelerated

your vaapi implementation can only decode mpeg2, mpeg4, h264 and vc1 (WMV9).

You could try https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/libv … r-vp9-git/ (maybe this would have to be merged with some patches from the vdpau package you use)

Otherwise force your browser to use h264, but then you can't have 4K.

Re: VP9 not hardware accelerated

No idea, I do not use any Chromium-based browsers.  Read the first comment for the package.

Re: VP9 not hardware accelerated

Even with h264ify or the anchanced version youtube videos don't work. The audio plays normally but video is just grey/black

Re: VP9 not hardware accelerated

Set up mpv for hardware decoding and use https://chrome.google.com/webstore/deta … bfbiigleji

Thanks but i think I'm just gonna distro hop to other linux systems and see if the problem remains(Manjaro and Fedora didn't have such problem)

Re: VP9 not hardware accelerated

Huh interesting. I've noticed that the problem occurs when i set anything in xorg.conf(by nvidia-settings) and reboot. Before that everything is fine. Furthermore that happens only on xfce and only on arch and some arch-derivatives(endeavouros and arco). I've just installed endeavour with kde on my second drive and everything works fine(still no vp9 but cpu usage in brave is not higher than 10%) even if i set something to xorg.conf

Re: VP9 not hardware accelerated

This just sounds like you break your general GL by generating incomplete configurations. What are you setting in your xorg.conf that needs to be generated and isn't already handled by the default config? You'll need to add 

Section "Files"    
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg"
    ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"
EndSection

to a file generated by nvidia-xconfig to fix the GLX lookup paths.

Re: VP9 not hardware accelerated

I didn't mess with xorg.conf directly. I set up displays positions and a primary display in nvidia-settings(with sudo) and then save the configuration to the "default " location which is /etc/X11/xorg.conf. I remember that when saving there was an option with checkbox "Merge with current configuration"(?). It's weird because it didn't break anything on manjaro or even fedora(with xfce). I'm running arch KDE now anyway
