I can not for the life of me remember how I enabled hardware decoding before.
I have a Vega Frontier GPU
I installed ffmpeg from fusion and and set Media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled = true
Is there anything I’m missing? Thank you.
Have a look at this:

Configure VA-API Video decoding on AMD
Accelerated video decoding works well on AMD as free drivers are available. Free video formats (e.g. VP8/VP9/AV1) should be accelerated out of the box. You can add support for H.264 VA-API decode by these steps:
- Install ffmpeg-free from Fedora, install libavcodec-freeworld and mesa-va-drivers-freeworld. See RPM Fusion howto (section Hardware codecs with AMD (mesa)) for instructions. It’s needed for VA-API H.264 decoding.
- Run vainfo on terminal to verify that VA-API works.
- Restart browser.
Do sudo dnf install libva-utils to have vainfo available.
