firefox-fourier: ship RK3399 HW-decode default prefs (closes #8)
Three prefs that gate the patched VAAPI / V4L2-request code path are 'false' upstream and need to be 'true' for the libva-v4l2-request backend to actually engage on RK3399 / panfrost EGL: widget.dmabuf.force-enabled media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled media.ffvpx-hw.enabled Without them, Gecko's DMA-BUF probe silently fails (panfrost EGL doesn't trip the right detection), the (Intel-tuned) HW-vs-SW cost heuristic picks SW, and the FFvpx PDM never selects its HW-capable variant for VP8/VP9. Net result: fresh profiles SW-decode despite the 0001..0004 unlock patches being applied. Shipped as a vendor-default file at: /usr/lib/firefox-fourier/browser/defaults/preferences/rockchip-fourier-defaults.js Lower precedence than user.js / about:config — power users debugging HW decode can still flip them off without touching the package. pkgrel 1 -> 2. Closes: #8

// firefox-fourier — RK3399 V4L2-stateless HW-decode default prefs.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// The patch series (0001..0004) builds the VAAPI / V4L2-request routing
|
||||
// path through libavcodec, but the resulting code path is gated by three
|
||||
// other prefs that are 'false' upstream because the relevant probes don't
|
||||
// fire on panfrost EGL or trip the Intel-tuned cost heuristic. Without
|
||||
// these, firefox-fourier silently SW-decodes on a fresh profile despite
|
||||
// having all the unlock patches applied.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// Filed via marfrit/marfrit-packages#8 — see that issue for MOZ_LOG
|
||||
// evidence on fresnel (Pinebook Pro / RK3399).
|
||||
//
|
||||
// These are *vendor* defaults: lower precedence than user.js and
|
||||
// about:config user prefs. Power users who want to disable HW decode for
|
||||
// debugging can flip them in user prefs without touching this file.
