YanVV, two questions:

- what is the URL of that website?
- does hw-accelerated playback works with the sandbox disabled?

I got rid of Nvidia. However I do know nvdec+gstreamer worked in regular flatpak applications. I don't think I ever tested it in WebKit. So it should be possible.

Nothing special was required for it to work in flatpak, but the CUDA libraries do have to all be installed.

any youtube video

when hw-accelerated work  , and seek forward or seek back ,  video freeze but audio normal.

I test all version :
                                    enable sandbox                                                                disable sandbox

webkit2gtk-5.0  sorry

[Philippe Normand]

Which decoder is used when hw acceleration is disabled?

GST_DEBUG="videoenc*:6" might give clues.

[Philippe Normand]

GST_DEBUG="videodec*:6" I mean.

[YanVV]

when using stateless decoder with sandbox disable , it is work fine.
so , video freeze maybe relate to the decoder

but the hw decode faile with sandbox enable is still not  solved

[Philippe Normand]

This won't magically solve itself without anyone working on it. I don't have NVIDIA GPU, so I can't debug this.

Screenshot showing GPU video decode usage on Nvidia GPUs

I originally filed 260422 based on CPU usage, but now I have found an app that actually reports video decode usage of the GPU, and I am pleased to say that on my machine video decode using nvdec elements work correctly after max-ranking nvdec elements

So can this bug be closed?

Closing.
