Mesa in F37- vaapi support disabled for h264/h265/vc1

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

since this mesa change ( https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/mesa/c/94ef544b3f2125912dfbff4c6ef373fe49806b52?branch=rawhide ) in F37 and rawhide, the mesa package lost support for vaapi accelerated encoding and decoding of h264, h265 and decoding of vc1 ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2123998 ).

It seems like a big regression from F36 for users with GPUs with open source drivers (mainly AMD, maybe nVidia/other non x86...), that affects common use-cases of Fedora Workstation, like watching videos, in-house game streaming, attending online meetings and many more.

I'd like to ask:
- Can somebody elaborate on reasons to change something that was working in Fedora for some time already?
- Is there any short/mid/long term plan to improve the situation?
- Would it be possible to provide vaapi support at least as an rpmfusion addon to alleviate the fallout in the short term?

Thanks!
