Hey,
I`m tryning to play stadia with my laptop (debian unstable). Already installed chromium with vaapi support. When i go to youtube and start a video with VP9. I see that it use "MojoVideoDecoder" driver. But when i run stadia it will fallback to: "VpxVideoDecoder".
With this i have a huge lag and i cannot play any game on my laptop from stadia.
libva info: VA-API version 1.5.0
libva info: va_getDriverName() returns 0
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/i965_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_4
libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0
.... ...
VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointVLD
VAProfileVP9Profile2 : VAEntrypointVLD
VP9 decoding in hardware needs an 8th+ gen Intel CPU and a supported OS.
Chrome on Linux unfortunately doesn't support GPU acceleration. ![]()
I'd strongly advise against using that very old experimental Chromium build with VAAPI enabled ... it surely has hundreds of unpatched vulnerabilities today.
@Bram0007 I've seen some indications that Stadia works best on Linux when using the official Google Chrome release instead of Chromium. Have you tried that to see if it makes any performance difference?
Thats a good one didnt know this options.
