Help with Hardware Acceleration Codec

Which codec in Youtube > Stats for nerds proves that hardware acceleration is enabled. Is it vp09 or av01? Thank you.

I believe it’s this one.

See Chromium - ArchWiki

This might just be the most interesting observation i have ever made. On one video the codec is vp09 and on another it is av01. explanation and help please.

@Yochanan sir this happens in firefox also

I don’t think you check hardware acceleration is enabled by the codec used.

This might be more informative:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardware_video_acceleration

There is codec information at the bottom of the page.

If you actually click on the link you’ll see how to check if hardware acceleration is in use. :wink:
