Linux 上的 Firefox 要支援 Vulkan Video Decoding 了?

前幾天看到「Firefox Merges Support For Vulkan Video Decoding (via)」這個,然後也有人到我 blog 之前的「Firefox 上 YouTube 的加速」這篇下面留言提到。 看「2021722 - Add Vulkan Video path to FFmpegVideoDecoder in Firefox」是三個月前開的票,然後順利實作完了: 看 milestone 是 153 Branch,應該是三個月後的版本?目前都是 CPU 硬幹啊,現在總算是有解了...

Недостающее звено при обработке медиа на Go

Большинство медиа-библиотек для Go рано или поздно упираются в одну и ту же проблему. У них нет собственного декодера. Вместо этого они полагаются на установленный в системе пакет FFmpeg, shared библиотеки, платформозависимые DLL или внешние исполняемые файлы, которые должны присутствовать на целевой системе. На этапе разработки всё работает. Затем начинается развертывание. И внезапно вы отлаживаете отсутствующие DLL в Windows, несовместимые версии FFmpeg в Linux, различия версий из Homebrew на macOS, образы контейнеров без нужных библиотек или продуктовые серверы, где рядовое обновление пакета неожиданно ломает обработку медиа.
