1178098 - Show why "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding" in about:support is "false" and fails on supporting hardware

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

The cause can be that the auto detection in bugged, so I have it disabled even on supported configuration or it's enabled and the value there is shown wrongly.

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

The detection for this value is done by attempting to create and initialize a decoder with DXVA support, and then reports if it succeeds.

It should be identical to what is happening for actual video playback, so you're most likely not getting DXVA decoding.

Your machine does look like it should support DXVA though, and your video card isn't blacklisted.

Do you know if other applications are getting DXVA? We can try adding more logging to see which part of the initialization is failing.

> Do you know if other applications are getting DXVA?
As far I remember I was having GPU hardware acceleration on YouTube when the site used Flash player, when we're talking about Mozilla Firefox.
In the other programs like MPC-HC with LAV Filters, I also have GPU hardware acceleration supported by NVIDIA CUVID, DXVA2 (copy-back) and DXVA (native) under H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, VC-1/WMV9, MPEG-4 ASP, MPEG-2/H.262 and MPEG-1 codecs with HD and SD resolutions.

I would gladly test these builds if needed.

DXVA Logging Patch

This build should be ready in a couple of hours: https://ftp-ssl.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-e7291fa2b506

It has debug logs to see why you're failing at DXVA. It will also open a window without a toolbar on run. Can you please do the following:

1) Run the debug build from a console and pipe the output to some file. e.g: ./firefox.exe &> log.txt
2) After Firefox loads, go to about:support
3) Take a screenshot of the small window without a toolbar.
4) Close Firefox, including the small window. You can close the small window from the toolbar in windows.
5) Attach both the log and the screenshot to this bug.

Thanks!

Done. See Comment 12 and Comment 13.
I also attached Log from Windows PowerShell which it logged the SRT from Comment 7
and I also attached information from DxDiag (32 & 64 bit ones) and from Codec Tweak Tool as they maybe be some use to diagnose and analyze what's wrong.

Comment 15

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

From your DxDiag:

Video Accel: ModeMPEG2_A ModeMPEG2_C ModeVC1_C ModeWMV9_C

We need ModeH264_VLD_NoFGT in order to use DXVA for h264.

I'm not sure if that's a problem with your card or drivers, but without that firefox won't be able to use DXVA.

Comment 16

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

It looks like your card supports NVIDIA PureVideo Feature Set C [1] which is definitely sufficient, and you have new drivers.

Might be something to do with your window configuration, I've seen problems in the past with codec tweak tool breaking things in Windows MediaFoundation.

So looks like the DxDiag analysis and detection is broken,
because DXVA Checker 3.5.0 shows clearly in Comment 17 that I have H264 hardware acceleration support:
-H264_VLD_NoFGT
-H264_VLD_Stereo_NoFGT
-H264_VLD_Stereo_Preogressive_NoFGT
What's more, I can hardware accelerate H264 in MPC-HC with LAV Filters by using: NVIDIA CUVID, DXVA2 (copy-back) and DXVA2 (native) methods.
I also have hardware acceleration in Chrome.

So I don't think that drivers or GPU or even system configuration is the issue here.

I used Codec Tweak Tool only to generate log in Comment 10, so it's not the case here.

What's more Firefox shouldn't be affected by system configuration in any way,
even if the file and codec which Firefox uses for H264 hardware acceleration isn't registered in the system or have the lowest merit, but simply exist on the disc,
Firefox just simply should use the file by itself.

Comment 19

[Mason Chang [Inactive] [:mchang]]

Thanks for the log! It looks like we should be supporting DXVA. Can you go to about:config after that build runs and check if the preference "media.hardware-video-decoding.failed" is false? 

Also, from chatting on the graphics daily, apparently Chrome's about:gpu might not be accurate until you play a video. Can you do this on Chrome:

1) Play a youtube 1080p video.
2) Go to about:gpu in Chrome, paste the output here.

Thanks!

Thanks for the about:gpu sections. 

From the error log at the bottom on both versions of chrome:

[3476:1448:0713/175525:ERROR:gpu_video_decode_accelerator.cc(280)] : HW video decode not available for profile 12 

I guess this means hardware video decoding isn't actually available in Chrome as well?

Yes, "media.hardware-video-decoding.failed" preference in about:config has value set as "false"

Done. See Comment 20 and Comment 21.
Looks like there're errors like:
>ERROR:gpu_video_decode_accelerator.cc(276)] : HW video decode not available for profile 12
or
>ERROR:gpu_video_decode_accelerator.cc(280)] : HW video decode not available for profile 12
but looking on https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=480094 , it can be also Chrome issue, as NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 also fails there with hardware accelerating H264 decoding by supported hardware

Comment 24

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

Profile 12 is VP9PROFILE_ANY, so chrome is failing to accelerate VP9.

You'll need to try with an h264 video (vimeo should work, or youtube with the 'h264ify' extension) to see if the h264 profiles manage to accelerate (profiles 0-10 are the various h264 ones).

Ahh... I totally forgot that Chrome prefers VP9 over H264 on YouTube.

Looks like Chrome supports Hardware H264 Decoding on supporting hardware in my case. See Comment 26 and Comment 27.

I even done quick test.
STR:
1. Download movie from https://vimeo.com/14965805 to HDD
2. Play it by drag-and-drop in new tab
3. Observe "Video Engine Load" in GPU-Z or "VPU" in NVIDIA Inspector
-on Firefox it's 0%
-on Chrome it's about 50%

Comment 29

[Mason Chang [Inactive] [:mchang]]

From the log in attachment 8632435 [details], and from the about:gpu sections, h264 should be ok. It also looks like gfxPlatform::CanUseHardwareVideoDecoding[1] is actually returning true. The sanity test is also passing. What else can I log to see why we're not using hardware decoding?

Try these builds out:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-e68e4fd7a57d/try-win32/

They should hopefully report more information in about:support for the supports hardware h264 decoding field.

Testing with media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva=true (requires a restart) might also produce interesting information.

Done. Tested this build Firefox Nightly 42.0a1 (2015-07-13) [Portable] with clean new fresh profile without any addons (extensions and plugins). I only disabled e10s due to still many bugs and crashes, slower performance and awful spinner on tab switch.
"Supports Hardware H264 Decoding:" now is showing:

Done, but even with created new boolean preference with name "media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva" in about:config with "true" value, nothing was changed in about:support and still played videos weren't hardware accelerate decoded. See Comment 32.

Comment 35

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

You'd think so :) But no, for two reasons.

1) We don't actually check that attribute in our D3D11 path, we just attempt to use d3d11 regardless and detect if it fails. Fixing this is probably a good idea, but I doubt it actually matters.

2) If D3D11 initialization fails, we retry with d3d9 and the results of that will overwrite any log messages that were added during the d3d11 attempt. That's just a limitation of the logging code I added, could be fixed.

Comment 36

[Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow)]

I have absolutely no idea how this works for chrome and not for us.

Our code for creating the MediaFoundation Transform object, and testing it for D3D support are almost identical, and it's certainly reporting unsupported for us.

Comment 37

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

I have bad and good news.

Let's start with bad one. Probably I won't be helping you with diagnosing this issue anymore.

You can ask "Why...?!". Simple, here goes the good news. Firefox finally started to recognize my hardware, as the one which supports hardware acceleration H264 video decoding and I can't reproduce the issue anymore because of this. So probably no more help from me in diagnosing this bug in my case. But I hope that persons from Comment 6 will be glad to help instead of me. Of course, if they still can reproduce it by themselves.

I found about this, when I started trying to diagnose the issue deeper by myself. First I was trying to find a regression range, as I was thinking that maybe some media patches which landed could caused this issue. I done that by using "Trace Log" in DXVA Checker which registers: events, process name and time. So when something will be using DxVA, I will have information about this there.
My observations:
- Firefox 38 ESR = works
- Firefox 39 (stable) = works
- Firefox 40 (Beta) = works and "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding" had "true" value in "Graphic" section in about:support
- Firefox 41 (Developer Edition/Aurora) = works and "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding" had "true" value in "Graphic" section in about:support
- Firefox 42 (Nightly) = works and "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding" had "true" value in "Graphic" section in about:support
and I clearly remember that it didn't work before in Firefox 40 (Beta), Firefox 41 (Developer Edition/Aurora) and Firefox 42 (Nightly), as they had "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding" value as "false" in "Graphic" section in about:support. So I was trying to remember what changed in these few days in whole PC hardware and software configuration. The only thing that changed was that I installed all patches in last Patch Tuesday. So I tried to find which one fixed the issue and I removed all of them. Unfortunately, I still couldn't reproduce this issue. So I have no idea what fixed it.

In my case after the very latest FireFox 42.0a1 update "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding" in "about:support" shows as "true".

Comment 41

[Andy]

I am still seeing "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding" as false with the latest Aurora/Dev Edition build (Version 41.0a2, Build ID 20150720004006).

I noticed in about:config that "media.hardware-video-decoding.failed" was set to true, but I reset that preference (back to null, it seems) and restarted the browser and saw no change. I loaded some HTML5 videos to see if it was re-tested, but the preference did not regenerate itself/reappear.

Here's my latest Graphics section, after clearing the preference above:

Comment 42

[Mason Chang [Inactive] [:mchang]]

Can you see if you're getting hardware acceleration in Chrome? Try this:

1) Play a vimeo 1080p video. (Has to be Vimeo as youtube will default to VP9, not H264).
2) Go to about:gpu in Chrome, paste the output here.

Thanks!

Basing on what Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow) written in Comment 24 and Comment 25,
profile 11 is VP8, not H.264.
Please redo the test with this video - https://vimeo.com/14965805

It's very old driver. Can you update the GPU driver? You can download it from here - https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/24971/Intel-HD-Graphics-Driver-for-Windows-7-8-64-bit
and please repost your about:support after update.

While updating the Intel graphics driver, gets me "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding	true", it breaks the switching between graphics drivers ( Intel / AMD Radeon(TM) HD 6630M Direct3D11 vs_5_0 ps_5_0 ) so I have to fall back on the original driver, if I want to be able to use both.

The Radeon activated about:support states "Supports Hardware H264 Decoding	true"

Here's my Chrome (now v44) about:gpu output for https://vimeo.com/14965805.

I also tried shutting my external monitor off to test whether that had any effect, but still got the "HW video decode not available for profile 12" message.

Comment 49

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

Now you fall off to VP9 decoding, before it was VP8, so still not H.264.
Can you try "h264ify" extension on Chrome which suggested Matt Woodrow (:mattwoodrow) in Comment #24 and test some full HD movie on YouTube?

Comment 50

[Andy]

Installed h264ify, opened https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BVHPS_RVtQQ, made sure it was set to 1080p, confirmed in the "Stats for nerds" popup that Resolution is 1920 x 1080@30 and the MIME Type is 'video/mp4; codecs="avc1.640028"', and got the following:

That's really interesting Andy.

Can you please try this build:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-e68e4fd7a57d/try-win32/

That should log the precise reason why we don't support accelerated h264 into about:support.

Sorry, I was on vacation last week and it looks like that try build has been purged.

I'm back now and willing to test, if you could upload a new build for me.

The link is working again now, thanks for taking a look!

Do you feel like modifying about:support to show the reason why H.264 decoding is disabled?

That's what my patch does. I would quite like to land it.

Ok, thanks, that's really interesting. We might need to be lazier in instantiating the decoders to make sure that inactive videos aren't stopping us from using the h/w decoders for active videos.

ni?jya as a default here, not sure who's the best person to look into inactivity stuff at the moment.

Sotaro worked on the dormant stuff but it might've got broken by some of the other changes.

Trailing space.

And I'd leave out the "fragmented" here; we use the same path for non-fragmented MP4 now too.

You need to rev the uuid on the XPCOM interface.

Reporting (spuriously) that DXVA didn't work due to this would be most misleading!

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

@ Yorgos - Please see Comment 51 & Comment 30 to report back what Firefox says
and Comment 24 & Comment 28 to report back what Chrome says

Comment 64

[Yorgos]

I dont have the key
media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva
in FF40, perhaps because Firefox requirs newer OS than Vista? anyway my card supports d3d11 (GTX650).
Perhaps I have to set manually the key to true i FF40 regarding H264.
http://postimg.org/image/efnwbhxw9/

I remeber that FF39 supported h264 acceleration, a 1080p video = 6-9% CPU.

Comment 65

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

@ Yorgos - Looks like I didn't explained myself properly.

1.
Please download and install this build - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-e68e4fd7a57d/try-win32/firefox-42.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe
and next copy and attach here whole "Graphics" section from about:support

2. Go to about:config, create new boolean preference with name "media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva" in about:config with "true" value and next copy and attach here whole "Graphics" section from about:support

3.
With Chrome open for example https://vimeo.com/14965805 or YouTube 1080p movie (need h264ify Chrome extension to enable H.264 instead of VP9 and VP8) and next copy and attach here whole info from chrome:gpu

Comment 66

[Yorgos]

1. Unfortunately I am not a beta tester.
 I work with my pc, i.e. not for testing purposes.

2. about:config with my FF40 ?

3. I dont have Chrome.

Comment 67

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

1. But you can also use ZIP package without installing it - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-e68e4fd7a57d/try-win32/firefox-42.0a1.en-US.win32.zip

2. Yes, but mainly I was talking about this test build which I posted

3. But you can test it on Chrome without installing it by using Portable version from here - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/google_chrome_portable

Comment 68

[Yorgos]

Ok, if they are surely Portable I will try them. thanks.
at the moment I say:

In the CCList there are 13 email adresses. Perhaps some of those 13 may want to try with FF42 or with Chrome and report the graphics, if they have a pc for testing?
I can only say:

-my card supports up to 4K 30p via dxva (= pure video 5, I guess)
-on all previous FF versions a 1080p video (flash, silverlight, pure H264 with new internal mozilla player, I dont remember the name of this player) required 6-8-11-9% CPU, now the same video requires 47-54%.
-other applications getting DXVA2 are for example: MPC-HC.
-drivers:
as you can see here
https://forums.geforce.com/default/board/33/
the latest very rock solid driver is 347.88, nvidia itself is aware see please http://postimg.org/image/8i990x0c7/ 
with 353 series there are TDR in firefox (and chrome) from gtx 500 until gtx 980, from vista until w10. so if you want very solid drivers you have to test Firefox with 347.88 (other people said 350, but I never tried it, only 353 with problems).

Comment 69

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

@ Yorgos - They already done that, if you looked on how many comments this bug has. Unfortunately it didn't get us close to diagnosing this issue. So that's why I'm asking for your help, as you also experienced this bug.

I also have NVIDIA GPU, which is GTX 460 v2 and I also have problems with any newer driver than 347.88, as it will hang any games. But this problem is not about it and it's not related.

Comment 70

[Yorgos]

I go
https://crash-stats.mozilla.com/report/index/3ce42c93-37f9-4b07-91ec-413ec2150812
also nothing done.

I hope to read good news here from other users ;) 
(when the thread is too long, that means: no solutions available in the future jajaja ;)

My HDD is working too hard now with FF40 (and it's hot summer hehe).
I use flash because html5 does not support GPU.

another thing related with graphics (?):
with FF40, when you minimize Firefox (or when you close "Options" small window, old style, not inContent **) there is 0.2 seconds "lag" (not a lag), while until FF39 all was smooth and without 0.2 seconds delay. As it would run into a VM, or as when you record the desktop with VLC.


[a short OT:
**) I dont appreciate the new inContent style for Addons tab in FF40: plugins and addons without the build number?!? you have to use mouse and tooltip to see Adobe Flash >18.0.0.232< or ADB plus >2.6.10< instead of an unuseful ADB plus or Adobe Flash without numbers. I dont agree with this change/"ameliorament" ]

Comment 71

[Yorgos]

Anyway I typed your string into FF40; I become False.
Surely not due to GPU: since a 1080p with MPC-HC (default settings) looks 6%

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

I also don't like add-ons manager change.
So can you do that what I wrote in Comment 65 or don't wanna?

Comment 74

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

Where it crashing? Specific site or just whole browser after start?
What about point 2 and 3 from Comment 65?

Comment 75

[Yorgos]

the second!!

point 2: already anwsered see above.

3. even the portable version is "malware", I have to use adwcleaner, zhpdiag, since even chrome portable is a real malware.

Comment 76

[Yorgos]

hey! from crash to crash in FF42...I was able to take a screenshot!
I hope this may help well in understanding why firefox (40 and 42) is refusing dxva on my system

http://postimg.org/image/sigkor4qn/

Comment 77

[Yorgos]

I googled the code error (see photo above)
perhaps this new crash, appeared with FF40, (runtime c++ error) may be strongly related with my:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1193676

(this only an idea ;)

Comment 78

[Virtual_ManPL [:Virtual] - (please needinfo? me - so I will see your comment/reply/question/etc.)]

OK. Awesome. Another hint.
I read that "C00D6D60" error is "MF_E_TRANSFORM_TYPE_NOT_SET", which is "A valid type has not been set for this stream or a stream that it depends on.". It redirects me to - https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa965264%28v=vs.85%29.aspx



Any ideas guys?

Comment 79

[Yorgos]

They say:
"
MF_E_TRANSFORM_TYPE_NOT_SET
You must set the output types before setting the input types. "
perhaps another hint.

Or it were interesting discovering what changed between FF39 and FF40, what has been added or removed, to understand deeper; for example if I type dxva in about:config I see nothing, in the past I saw strings.

[If I discover that "chrome portable" is as portable as "firefox portable", i.e. without installig things in regedit, then I try your step 3 above, 
much appreciated your help and your patience.]
Step 2: in both ff40 and 42: the same behaviour and effects. In meantime I was able to restart FF42 portable, without the above quoted crash.
I confirm for ff40 by minimizing it to the bottom bar, a behaviour like as it were running in a VM, never noticed before, but not a real lag.
Very very good the amelioraments in vertical scrolling (scrolling a big FB photoalbum until the end is still not so smooth, perhaps due to ram usage required by those albums), but you did a very great ameliorament in vscrolling. Thanks.

Due to the crashes in FF42 portable I forgot to post the whole Graphics with FF42, here is it ;) sorry.

It's interesting. It sort of suggests that we need to setup the input/output types of the decoder before attempting to request hardware decoding.

We do this in the other order normally (and I believe it would fail if we didn't!), but this might be specific to the vista implementation of the code.

I'll have a play around tomorrow to see if reversing the order still works on newer versions of windows (don't have vista handy).

Comment 82

[Yorgos]

(if it is due to Vista, perhaps you may want to add a regression, if Firefox is aware to be installed on Vista; that is only an idea; as in webm: even if the card is d3d11 capable, firefox on vista requires d3d9)

Give this build a try: http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/try-builds/[e-mail]-fb3d4df54c46/try-win32/

It's a long shot, but hopefully it helps.

hi, made this account to comment on this video issue, thanks for the work in here, its proved to be a successful workaround on the h264 video issue! 

installed Matt's Nightly link above,   tweaked those about:config settings namely and finally the cpu has shot down to <5% and the gpu has taken the 17% video load

1. Installed firefox-43.0a1.en-US.win32.zip
2. Step #2 of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1178098#c65
3. restart firefox.

I still see:
"Supports Hardware H264 Decoding No; MFT_MESSAGE_SET_D3D_MANAGER failed with code C00D6D60"

not sure if crash tab was caused because i was fiddling around with my dns at the time

Firefox 41beta1, on Win7 x64 with Radeon HD4890(Catalyst Legacy 13.9) is affected too. DXVA for 1080p30 h264 videos works flawlessly in other programs, including Chrome.

Could you also do steps from Comment 65 and try next build from Comment 83 ?

Comment 94

[clogged.drainpipe]

I have done some additional testing with the build liked in comment #65 and I believe I have some interesting results.
Using "media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva" in about:config with "true" value indeed causes DXVA to be used, and it works. However, when I seek around randomly in a 1080p30 Youtube video, DXVA gets turned off and in about:support there is a message: "(#0) Error	Too many dropped/corrupted frames, disabling DXVA" Every time I seek there are a couple of dropped frames at the beginning, and if I seek a lot in a short time period, then they add up and trigger the DXVA auto-disable.

There is something else that is somewhat related to this issue. GPUs almost always use fixed-function hardware blocks for decoding video when DXVA is in use. These HW blocks have a limited capacity. For example, my card(Radeon HD4890) can DXVA decode approximately 50 frames of 1080p H264 video. If I attempt to DXVA decode 1080p60 I get massive framedrops. This is NOT a per video limitation but a system-wide one, so if I have a 1080p30 video playing and I open another one, then massive framedrops happen. I have not tested the limits of 720p video decoding, but a single 720p60 video works perfectly fine. I would guess that I could play a handful of 480p30 videos at the same time via DXVA and still be just fine.
My card is pretty old, and for all I know this could be a driver issue(at this point it is safe to say that it will never get fixed), but the point is that all GPUs have a limited DXVA decoding throughput, and when it is exceeded(due to too many videos playing at the same time, lots of seeking by the user or some other reason) framedrops will happen and the framedrop detector will kick in.

Comment 95

[clogged.drainpipe]

I would suggest having an about:config option that disables the DXVA auto-disabler.

That's unfortunate. I don't have any other ideas at the moment (except for rewriting the whole DXVA pipeline so we have more control), nor a vista machine handy to test on.

I'd love to fix this, but I don't really have time right now to work on issues that only affect Vista. Sorry!

The plan is to change the disabler to only disable the current video rather than DXVA entirely.

I can add a pref I guess, but we really need to get the right behaviour automatically since most users won't look for prefs.

Comment 97

[Yorgos]

Thanks.
I hope that the issue maybe resolved for me too, not only for watching 1080p, but because this issue with h264 affects firefox in general: more lags, more hangs arised with FF40.

Falling back for the current resolution (and above) would probably work best. If the software decoder is too slow then dropped frames will cause the player to fall back. There is a question of how much effort it is worth putting into trying to get video frames out of a broken driver.

Yes, please do. It will make testing with force enabled preference easier.


Next I have 2 questions:
1. Is "media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva" hidden and used, when it's not added in about:config by default in enabled state or it's just not used and it's disabled?
2. Were "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled" and "media.windows-media-foundation.use-dxva" removed or just hidden and enabled by default?

It's set to false by default, and hidden. I don't really want people finding it and enabling it, since it isn't ready to ship.

> 2. Were "media.windows-media-foundation.enabled" and

media.windows-media-foundation.enabled has been removed, so it's always enabled.

media.windows-media-foundation.use-dxva still exists (hidden), but it being replaced with media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled

Comment 106

[...]

How can I forcefully disable this software fallback mechanism because it keeps switching to software rendering unnecessarily.
It's over-complicated and too sensitive to seeking, scrubbing, going into full screen, not just 4K videos.
Thanks

Comment 107

[[e-mail]]

Sorry for asking, does this means this is fixed? In my case every new install or profile says my GPU is not capable of h264 decoding (says false or No, because is unsuported or blacklisted), while it does decode stuff, even locally.

My VGA is an ATI Radeon HD 3200 with v8.970.100.1100 drivers (latest this card can get)

Here the text from about:support, I've modified the key media.hardware-video-decoding.failed to false, so it can run the videos smoothly...

GpuProcessHostUIShim: The GPU process exited normally. Everything is okay.

---------------------

I took this after installing that extension for looking h264 videos on Youtube, and changing the flag for the blacklisted GPUs on Chrome...
This video runs smooth (well... not that much, FF440a1 runs much faster)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e6VHTfDl5sw

Is here something different, besides the flag I changed?

In FF 43 beta DXVA disables only for the current video. Please add such preference to about:config to never disable DXVA vidoe decoding, no matter how many corrupted dropped frames occurred.

When we play HQ video and temporary run short but resource demanding task, Firefox disables DXVA for current video because of too many dropped frames. This may happen as well when we move to not yet buffered fragment of a video.
Many older CPUs can't decode H264 efficiently, so the video starts stuttering badly.
Microsoft Edge uses hardware acceleration and decoding no matter how low-end your hardware is. 1080p HTML5 videos always play smoothly for me.

Comment 111

[Yorgos]

That is the reason because all is fine here with Flash, instead with html5 I become stuttering only, even at 480p
with flash all is fine even at 1080p (or above!).

Please add an option to completely disable this fallback.

Have you tried the hidden pref mentioned in comment #105? At your own risk, of course, since it isn't ready for shipping.

Comment 114

[tomy_homy]

This does not do what I want. I want to prevent "(#0) Error	Too many dropped/corrupted frames, disabling DXVA" by forcing DXVA to always be enabled no matter of what or disabling dropped/corrupted frames detector so the DXVA will NEVER disable

[Windward]

I have the same bug on MacBook Pro - I followed all steps outlined here, but H.264 HW accel is still disabled.  

MacBooks are a rather standard configuration compared to PCs, so hopefully it will be easier to resolve this.

My report details are here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1235875

As mentioned in your other bug, it is not disabled. about:support always return false on mac, regardless of having hardware acceleration or not

Guys is there any problem to add such preference to about:config to never disable DXVA vidoe decoding, no matter how many corrupted dropped frames occurred?

There is the suggestion to add support for such in bug 1178385.

[code]media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled;true[/code]
does not prevent triggering video decoding fallback which sucks. Same for [code]gfx.blocklist.all;-1[/code]
Latest FF build that does not trigger decoding fallback is Firefox 37.0.2 x86

Comment 120

[yinonzadok]

Im affected too. Using Nvidia geForce 7300 GS with Firefox 44.0.2 and Windows XP Pro 64x, it seems that my cpu is doing all the work wile playing a video. 

I havent tried changing those values:
 - media.windows-media-foundation.allow-d3d11-dxva (I use Directx 9, should I change the name to d3d9?)
 - media.windows-media-foundation.enabled
 - media.windows-media-foundation.use-dxva (I have "media.hardware-video-decoding.enabled;true" in my FF, did the other change too? How do I change an hidden value?)

my Dxdiag is saying "Video Accel: ModeMPEG2_C ModeMPEG2_D ModeWMV9_B ModeWMV9_A". I need to change it to H264 right? but how?

I tried using flash but it didnt help much, maybe I needed to turn on HW acceleration for it. I'll try that.

Thanks for all the work!

Comment 121

[Yorgos]

FF44 removes support for hw acceleration in flash too.
In previous version 1/1 direect11 omtc, in ff44 0/1 basic.
A bad news, since for years all was ok.

Comment 122

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

An nvidia 7300 doesn't have h264 hardware decoding. In only did some partial acceleration for mpeg2. The first nvidia card to have it was the 8200GS. 

We didn't remove hw acceleration support in flash either, YouTube stopped serving flash. And only uses htnl5

Comment 123

[Yorgos]

I am able to use flash in YT.
And I have GTX650, fully capable of hw acceleration up to 4K 30p 100Mbps, just to say.

Running a 14 years old OS which doesn't provide a framework to decode h264 with hardware :)

You could get Windows 10 and remove all of those limitations.. just sayin'

Comment 125

[Yorgos]

It did with FF too.
Now it does with MPC-HC and VLC 4K, sorry.

Please it were more honest behaviour from you to admit that Mozilla dropped down the support, or that you dont to work.

Comment 126

[Yorgos]

As I demostred with my screenshot until FF42 I was able YT 4k with Firefox, then I become your "gift".
Perhaps Mozilla is a sponsor of Windows 10, ....hoping that with w10 I dont have the issues described in geforce.com forum, just to say.

Comment 127

[Yorgos]

and sorry for me its easier to switch to chrome than to a different OS, unless you want purchase for me a new scanner and printer, w10 compatible, just to be able to watch video in Firefox, as I did sicne 10 years. Congratulations for you help!

Comment 128

[Jean-Yves Avenard [:jya]]

set media.mediasource.webm.enabled to false and media.webm.enabled to false.

You can also install in Firefox add-ons forcing the use of Flash (like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-all-flash-player/?src=search)

Chrome will get you webm/VP9 by default too, and will use software decoding with YouTube: you'll get exactly the same issue there.
Almost guaranteed you'll get better performance with FF on Windows XP because we do care about this platform and maintain it actively.

Comment 129

[Yorgos]

Why XP and not Vista? (Vista is more similar to Seven, than XP).
I always seen dx11 omtc, not I see basic.

Comment 130

[Yorgos]

yes with the addon I see "accelerated video decoding and rendering" in youtube (not FB).

I dont see the key:

Yes, so now Flash should be used with youtube as there's no alternative available (windows XP doesn't support h264 decoding and you disabled webm/vp9)

You've basically disabled HTML5 video.

Comment 135

[Yorgos]

Hi, it seems better now with youtube! thanks.

while the issue is still present on facebook (played via flash player : 30% CPU and frame dropped instead of my usual 1-2% and no frames dropped)

This got removed in bug 1257013.

[MTRX]

I'm also showing the same problems on Nvidia 8400 GS for all firefox versions 42 and up.  any ideas on how to fix it??

when i check all the modules and loaded DLL's however.  dxva2 is definately loading up.  -and i can tell when it's working,  cuz i've always notice a light bit of vectoring and distortion just as a hardware acceleration video kicks in.  and it happens in firefox.
telling me that the GPU is doing something.

I imagine if dxva.dll wasn't working,  firefox wouldn't bother loading it up,  or would it load it up anyways??  silverlight,  and flash both have hardware acceleration enabled,  and youtube in flash even reports hardware acceleration.  can't say the same about html5,  but nothing tells you if hardware acceleration is enabled in HTML5.  That's why i checked the troubleshooting information,  and found that firefox was telling me I don't have h264 when in fact I do.  MPC,  always shows hardware acceleration in the status bar,  using lav,  lav cuvid,  and microsoft codecs.

Please do not add to a closed bug, and open a new one and it can be investigated.
