Chromium GPU blacklist prevents accelerated Video
MicrosoftVonCrisp - Thanks for the feedback. Could you please attach the output from edge://gpu on the system where you're hitting this issue? If your GPU is blacklisted, then enabling the edge://flags/#ignore-gpu-denylist feature should allow hardware acceleration to be utilized.
I've filed an internal bug to track the other aspect of your feedback (utilizing the dGPU for video decode / processing when the iGPU is blacklisted).
Thank you for coming back to me and opening a ticket!
I have run a few tests, edge://gpu results for:
edge___gpu.html - ignore-gpu-denylist disabled
edge___gpu.html - ignore-gpu-denylist enabled
edgeChromium ignore-gpu-denylist enabled.jpg
Causes livestream playback to corrupt.
Also doesn't utilise the iGPU or dGPU (via task manager)
edgeHTML GPU being utilised.jpg
showing EdgeHTML to be utilising the iGPU (via task manager)
edge___gpu ANGLE OpenGL crash upon livestream.html
ANGLE set to OpenGL out of curiosity for this test.
Causes dGPU to show up in GL_RENDERER as opposed to iGPU.
Causes Windows to BSOD upon running the livestream.
If I can help with more data I would be more than happy!
