Problem thorium-browser will no longer playback HEVC videos. Tested using https://thorium.rocks/misc/h265-tester.html Tested latest google chrome, and it works, although without sound.

https://thorium.rocks/misc/h265-tester.html works for me using latest Thorium (M126).

You use

Thorium Version 122.0.6261.132

Please update and try again.

Odd, i was sure i was running the latest version. In any regard, i removed 122, deleted all cache files and directories (.cache/thorium & .config/thorium) installed 126, but the problem persists.

@midzer @genesis224 @thnkman I am not able to recreate this on any of my machines. I have one with a core 2 duo and integrated graphics, a 4th gen laptop with AMD graphics, and my main system with nvidia graphics. Two of those have no hardware HEVC decoding support, which is what Thorium's patches are for, to allow HEVC and AC3 no matter what, falling back to software FFMPEG decoding if needed.

I can play HEVC videos on test sites, as well as the AC3 test files on my site.

Then i am at a loss. Thanks for checking.

@thnkman Are you using the regular AVX build? Because I think I may have found why

Still getting ERROR:vaapi_video_decoder.cc(1212)] failed Initialize()ing the frame pool

zd59 commented 1 month ago

Today, 20th October 2024 I upgraded from thorium-browser_126.0.6478.231_AVX to thorium-browser_128.0.6613.189_AVX

Now I can NOT play HEVC video clips stored from my cameras with Zoneminder surveillance. Previous 126 version worked fine - actually was the only web browser with HEVC play support on my Slackware64 machine. So I was forced to downgrade to version 126 that was the last playing HEVC clips.

Please patch/reenable version 128 to support HEVC.

Thank you in advance.

HEVC hardware acceleration support on Linux is not available out of the box for Chrome/Chromium

zd59 commented 1 month ago

Thank you gz83.

I am very well aware of that. I searched a lot to finally found a Linux browser that supports HEVC play. I use Slackware over 20 years and when I switched from AVC to HEVC in my video surveillance (speed of store and disk space savings), I searched all over the place, as Chrome/Chromium/Firefox/Thorium/Konqueror and others do not support HEVC. Pure luck was discovery of Alex313031 compilation of Thorium with added HEVC support. My wish is HEVC support in That Thorium from 126 above, else I'm left without it in Linux, forced to use Window$ only to watch my video surveillance clips. And I think, I'm not alone, as Zoneminder is pure and only Linux supported.

gz83 commented 1 month ago

You may need to make sure you have an Intel or AMD graphics card + a newer operating system + X11 + VAAPI + the right graphics driver + some appropriate chromium command line parameters, only by doing this can you increase your chances of getting HEVC hardware acceleration.

At the same time, Linux DE is fragmented, different DEs may have different performance, and under Wayland, Chromium may become even worse.

In summary, enabling hardware acceleration on Linux is a complex matter, with the exception of ChromeOS/ChromiumOS/Android, which have slightly better support for hardware acceleration. This is also true for devices that use V4L2 (which have slightly better support for hardware acceleration).

@zd59 @gz83 @genesis224 @thnkman I am at a loss. Software decoding of HEVC and AC3 should work. It is working fine for me here on Linux, and I am on NVidia, so there is for SURE no hardware acceleration going on, no matter what codec the video uses.

IDK why it seems that every release, I have a new random subgroup of users that HEVC seems to break on. Then the next release it will be fixed for some people, and broken for others.

Just to rule out that there is some conflict with it trying to use hardware acceleration when it shouldn't, can you try launching thorium with --no-gpu --disable-gpu --disable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL then see if it plays.

Finally I managed to set proper feature on your latest Thorium to play HEVC. It is not enough, to disable graphic acceleration in settings. Hidden config should be changed as above last --disable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL. chrome://flags/ --> GL Vaapi Video Decode should be set to "disasbled" instead of "default" After Thorium restart, it can play HEVC.

Thanks to @Alex313031 @thnkman.

Thanks to @Alex313031 @thnkman.

Can confirm, HEVC playback works by setting GL VAAPI flag to disabled. Nice one!

In my case just turning off hardware acceleration got it to work. Running Version 128.0.6613.189 on Arch using the standard thorium-browser-bin aur build.
