Hardware Decoding not working on twitch.tv

laxman20 commented 3 weeks ago

What happened?

When watching streams on www.twitch.tv, I am getting skipped frames.

I verified that hardware decoding was not working using the Resources flatpak app (https://flathub.org/apps/net.nokyan.Resources), which shows hardware decoding usage as a percentage. It was showing 0% while a video was streaming on twitch.tv

I can't reproduce the same on Firefox. Playback is smooth and Resources indicates that hardware decoding is working.

Reproducible?

[X] I have checked that this issue cannot be reproduced on Mozilla Firefox.

Version

1.0.0-a.23

Severity impact

Medium

What platform are you seeing the problem on?

This may be an part of a wider issue. On Windows, if I play any video with Hardware Acceleration enabled, the browser flickers randomly and sometimes the decoder fails, in Twitch's case, this results in a player error.

My GPU is a NVIDIA 3060Ti.

In regards to Video Streaming, I get the following message; Screenshot 2024-09-04 222657 This is not an issue with my main browser; Floorp (a Firefox fork maintained by Ablaze), which can play the same stream within seconds of Zen returning the aforementioned error message, which alludes to an incompatibility on the Client side, every time I have tried.

My desktop is Win10Pro 22H2 19045.4780 on Intel NUC i7-9750H @ 2.6GHz 32GB RAM ← if relevant "7plus" is an on-demand service of an Australian Free to Air Broadcaster.

I'm not sure who this question was directed to, but in the last few minutes; but the issue is still present when watching a stream from 7plus. Ablaze Floorp, immediately before and after the Zen test is working fine. So that would be "yes" for me.

Hi. I can confirm it is fixed now (I'm on version 1.0.0-a.39). Playback is smooth and Resources app is showing hardware decoding is happenning.

Thank you!
