mpv on ChromeOS with Hardware acceleration - Lemmy

I recently started using my Chromebook more and was struggling to find a way to make the video playback smoother when using mpv running on ChromeOS. I quickly realized the default config doesn’t use hardware accel on ChromeOS as it is disabled for crostini. I wrote a guide on how to enable it and use a custom config to enhance the user experience. GitHub repo is a fork modified to enable mpv hw accel support in crostini.

Does ChromeOS report everything you do to Google?

The Linux container is sand-boxed. but the chrome browser does by default send a lot of metrics back to Google.

Chrome OS is a surveillance tool for Google and authorities, and should be illegal to give to minors.
It’s actually illegal in EU, except for some reason EU is giving it a pass.

Neat, I might have to try this out the next time I pull out my Chromebook. I did use it for a while when my desktop was out of commission, and this was the biggest issue I ran into. Had to dial YouTube videos down to 240p to get decent playback.
