Chrome OS version 92.0.4515.162 (official build) (32-bits)
Chromebook duet za6f 1080p 60fps.
Chrome://gpu
Video Acceleration Information: Completely empty. There is no information regarding any codec support or capability. Not even vp8 or vp9 or H264.
When I play stadia, stadia+ extension monitor shows it's always on H264 codec, even after I force it to vp9 and reload, it still shows H264. And at 1080p it is completely unplayable and unstable. Regardless of internet quality. Which is 12ms 150mbps/50upload or better.
Is this a hardware limitation issue, or operating system issue?
Or is it perhaps the Stadia software that is not operating or functioning properly here?
Thanks.
Hi @TwinkleStar,
We did some research in a other topic you opened if I am right.
But searching online it gives some hints that the MediaTek cpu is not capable of VP9.
Meaning that your Lenevo Duet won't be able to use VP9, and forcing it with a plugin is a unofficial workaround.
To be honest I don't think that CPU is up to VP9 forcing because all the load will go to CPU when not supported.
According to THIS Reddit topic forcing H264 is the solution for Stadia on the Duet.
Hope this clears things up. ![]()
Yes thanks. Appearantly h264 is capable of running 1080p stable.
There was a chrome OS bug that showed Chrome version 92.0 to be the newest version on my system. And was thus unable to update for 1 month even if I manually clicked it. Causing h264 to run very slow on 1080p. I had to make sure my system and stadia supported h264 atleast on 1080p before the time limit on my purchase expired.
Factory settings resolved the issue and using chrome OS version 93.0 now runs 1080p 60fps super smooth.
I noticed the issue particularly stems from android webview system application being out of sync with the chrome os version. Factory os works as well, as long as that app doesn't update. If it does, them chrome os needs to update aswell. To the absolute newest version, even if the system thinks it's got the newest system but does not actually have it.
Sorry for all the confusion. Weird that h264 doesn't show up on chrome://gpu. But it seems like it works fine now chrome OS is totally up to date and synced with all application versions.
