1854453 - Add a new variant to run mochitest-media (Mda) on GPU worker in order to test hardware decoding on CI

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Audio/Video: Playback, task, P2)

Description

[Alastor Wu [:alwu]]

Currently our mochitest media task only runs on the regular worker, which doesn't support hardware decoding. We should enable test coverage for hardware decoding as well.

FYI, for enabling hw decoding tests on the try server, now I only enable them on Windows and MacOS. But we can enable it on Linux as well in the future (there are some errors which need to be fixed first) so that we will be able to have test coverage for VAAPI.

Should work on Linux too, I'm not aware of any HW decoding errors. On Intel hardware it's enabled by default for release now.

Oh sorry for the confusion. I didn't enable Linux in this patch because on Linux I saw some debug assertion failures on the try server (but release test worked well) I just need to investigate what happen on the assertion failure and then we can enable hw decoding test on Linux. My NI is simply letting you know about now we're able to test hw decoding on the try server as well.
