| Blastboom Strice | I did these steps | 19:24:39 |
 K900 | I wonder if your CPU is too old to do VP9, and Moonlight specifically wants VP9 for whatever reason, and you're hitting the Cursed Path | 19:24:42 |
| K900 | The Intel VAAPI driver, the one not in Mesa, tries to kinda accelerate VP9 on CPUs that have VP8, because they're a similar enough lineage, by reusing the VP8 hardware blocks in funny ways | 19:25:29 |
| K900 | And then trying to paper over it in software | 19:25:34 |
| K900 | It works absolutely horribly and Intel dropped it from newer drivers for that reason | 19:25:43 |
| K900 | But it will claim to be doing hardware accelerated VP9 | 19:25:56 |
| Blastboom Strice | Moonlight asks for
| 19:26:09 |
| K900 | And technically it will be doing hardware accelerated something but the practical result will be Not GOod | 19:26:15 |
| K900 | And technically it will be doing hardware accelerated something but the practical result will be Not Good | 19:26:16 |
| Blastboom Strice | My cpu apparently doesnt support the last | 19:26:18 |
| Blastboom Strice | But the other 2 work | 19:26:21 |
| K900 | It definitely doesn't | 19:26:22 |
| K900 | AV1 is newer than 10 years old | 19:26:35 |
| Blastboom Strice | My server does though thankfully | 19:26:38 |
| K900 | Hardware adoption of AV1 is significantly newer than 10 years old | 19:26:45 |
| Blastboom Strice | Ok now what, lol, my scrolling just got super slow | 19:27:01 |
| Blastboom Strice | Hahaha | 19:27:03 |
| Blastboom Strice | Only in moonlight settings* | 19:27:22 |
| Blastboom Strice | Whatever | 19:27:26 |
| K900 | I think we got AV1 encode on like... the past two-ish generations of GPUs not named Intel | 19:27:38 |
| K900 | And Intel had it for like another year before that | 19:27:50 |
| Blastboom Strice | Yeah, I have an rx7600 on my server | 19:28:03 |
| Blastboom Strice | Was gonna get the 6600, but somone I know warned me that the 7000+ series support av1 | 19:28:27 |

https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Accelerated_Video_Playback May I ask, why doesnt this have anything for amd? | 19:30:01 |
| K900 | Because AMD gets it for free with Mesa | 19:30:11 |
| Blastboom Strice | Is it lacking or is there no need for that on amd? | 19:30:15 |
| Blastboom Strice | Ah | 19:30:15 |
| K900 | As should everyone | 19:30:18 |
| Blastboom Strice | Cooool | 19:30:19 |
