4646correct operation. This is characterized by graphical acceleration not working
4747and general graphical instability. If this is the case, try removing all

50+ On chromium based browsers, even with flags `--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder
51+ --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder`, and hardware acceleration
52+ reported to be enabled in ` chrome://gpu ` you might be able to see that the
53+ iGPU is not being selected/used with "VDA Error 4" on ` chrome://media-internals `
54+ and ` VpxVideoDecoder ` is being selected instead. In that case, you have to build
55+ the ` intel-media-driver ` package with ` nonfree ` option from the
56+ [ void-packages] ( https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages ) source repository.
57+ Check the Media panel in the inspector while playing a video on the web
58+ to confirm that hardware decoding is working.

60+ Note that for video with less resolution than 480p on youtube you may not see use of
61+ hardware acceleration and CPU might bump the load instead, to fix this you might
62+ be interested in using
63+ [ enhanced-h264ify] ( https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/enhanced-h264ify/omkfmpieigblcllmkgbflkikinpkodlk )
64+ extension, for disabling VPx/AV1 video codecs.
You can’t perform that action at this time.
