 ====== HW video decoding using VAAPI ====== ====== HW video decoding using VAAPI ======
  
 +===== Update 2022-02-05 =====
 +As of now it seems that it is working with RDD enabled (tested with Firefox 96.0.3)
 +
 +Only these two options need to be set on my AMD machine to enable it.
 <code> <code>
-MOZ_X11_EGL=1 firefox+gfx.x11-egl.force-enabled true 
 +media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled true 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +If needed disable av1/av01 codec if there is no HW decode support (YouTube may use this with 1080p otherwise) 
 +This can of course affect media at other sites. 
 +Note that av1/av01 is NOT the same as avc1 
 +[[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyqf6gJt7KuHBmeVzZteZUlNUQAVLwrZS|AV1 Beta playlist]]

 +===== Checking if HW decoder is active =====
 +==== AMD ====
 +Check if "uvd" is enabled. UVD stands for Unified Video Decoder

 +=== Tested workaround (as in turning off acceleration) ===
 +media.ffvpx.enabled = true
 +
 +====== Using Telavox web based SIP phone with FF ======
 +===== Need to spoof the user-agent to include "Chrome" =====
 +
 +Install [[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-string-switcher/|User-Agent switcher]] \\
 +
 +Then add this to the "Custom Mode" configuration
 +
 +<code ecmascript>
 +{
 +  "app.telavox.com": "${userAgent} Chrome"
 +}
 +</code>
 +
 +===== Now you also need to manually enable accepting calls =====
 +This is due to [[https://stackoverflow.com/questions/59131286/how-to-check-if-the-permission-to-access-microphone-has-been-rejected-by-the-use|microphone permisssion not queryable]]
 +
 +First make sure that you have allowed persistent access to microphone. \\
 +Then add the value registerSoftphone:"true" to the "Local Storage" for https://app.telavox.com
 +
 +If you then go to "Settings | Phone and audio" you should see that "Receive incoming calls" is now enabled.
