And what is the problems which lead us only being able to enable hw decoding on Wayland? Thank you. Alastor, there are three VAAPI/X11 blockers here which are worked on: 1) WebRender by default (done) 2) EGL by default (we need dmabuf support on x11) (done in FF 94) 3) Enable HW access on RDD process (Bug 1698778) jld is looking at it generally when 1) and 2) is done we use identical VAAPI setup on Wayland/X11. Step 3) blocks both Wayland and X11.

And what is the problems which lead us only being able to enable hw decoding on Wayland? Thank you. Alastor, there are three VAAPI/X11 blockers here which are worked on: 1) WebRender by default (done) 2) EGL by default as we need dmabuf support on x11 (done in FF 94) 3) Enable HW access on RDD process (Bug 1698778) jld is looking at it generally when 1) and 2) is done we use identical VAAPI setup on Wayland/X11.
