Google Chrome does not have VP9/AV1 hardware decoding

Mutcholoko commented 6 months ago

macOS Version

Sonoma

What is your CPU's model?

AMD Ryzen 7 5700G

What is your GPU's model?

AMD Radeon RX 6750 XT

Please describe the behaviour in detail.

Although hardware acceleration is working, it only supports hardware decoding and only H264 and HEVC. I'd also like to point out that hardware encoding is not working on Chrome, but working on other apps such as OBS Studio.

What should've happened instead?

VP9 and AV1 should show up on the list. Hardware encoding should also show H264 and HEVC.

If applicable, attach the .gpuRestart, .panic, etc file related to this issue.

@Mutcholoko I don't think macOS' dGPU drivers support either of those, only the Intel iGPU ones.

That seems to be the case then. I was comparing with my Hackintosh laptop, which indeed has an Intel iGPU. I'm closing this issue.

@VisualEhrmanntraut I know the issue is closed, but do you have any info on whether or not Safari supports VP9 hardware decoding and/or any sort of hardware encoding on an AMD GPU? I could't find any info on that online.
