12:20 <dshankar> bah! quite frustrated with the past weeks efforts

12:21 <dshankar> i've been struggling to get a browser (chromium or firefox) to use hardware video decode

12:22 <dshankar> I'm wondering of (somehow) the older releases had a browser capable of HW vpudec. Example: http://boundarydevices.com/latest-freescale-ubuntu-i-mx6/

12:22 <dshankar> it claims "Accelerated video playback through GStreamer/Totem" as well as "HTML5 video playback in Firefox"

12:23 <dshankar> but I suspect the HTML5 video playback *is not* actually on the VPU/not hw accel

12:23 <dshankar> frustrating that gstreamer is capable of vpudec, but no browser can...

12:40 <rz2k> I bet that firefox can be configured to use gstreamer

12:40 <rz2k> I mean compile time

12:58 <dshankar> yeah

12:58 <dshankar> rz2k: checking buildconfig on firefox doesn't show --enable-gstreamer so I'm guessing the binary I'm using wasn't compiled with that flag. will attempt that next
