Hardware acceleration

[Hooloovoo]

Hello,

Thank you for making a snap of this!

Looking at the output of intel_gpu_top, it seems like hardware acceleration is not working for me on an Intel (Alder Lake) system on Ubuntu 22.04. It works when I download the Jammy deb from:
https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-media-player/releases

Thanks for reporting the issue. I just pushed some changes that should fix the issue. The new build is in the --edge channel. I'll wait for a couple of days since I recently updated the --candidate channel with other fixes. Please let me know if the issue is solved on your end.

Great, thanks!

I tested this but it doesn't seem to be working for me. Using the Flatpak:

But using the snap:

$ which jellyfinmediaplayer 
/snap/bin/jellyfinmediaplayer
$ snap info jellyfinmediaplayer

It does not look like it is accelerating. I see at the commandline:

$ /snap/bin/jellyfinmediaplayer

I am using Intel, not nvidia, but could that be relevant?

I also tested the Chromium snap with hwaccel and it is working correctly to accelerate Jellyfin media. Oddly, the deb from the releases page does not seem to be accelerating for me any more.
