Next Player cannot use the device decoder on ChromeOS. This means that decoding files is very resource-intensive and videos won't play smoothly. Attempting to play with the automatically selected decoder will stutter instead.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Go to 'Settings > Decoder'
Set 'Decoder priority' to Device decoders only
Open an "archived" video file of your choice
Expected behavior
Videos should use the device decoder and play as smooth as on VLC.
Error message

Upon testing, I noticed an issue on
Just Player. I don't know if it's related or even the same in the end.At the same time, VLC works just fine with hardware decoding.
