AV1 video codec support
Changelog mentions experimental support for this codec was added at some point.
At the quick glance, it seems the browser is compiled without --enable-av1 build option, so the AV1 functionality is missing, but adding the option would enable AV1 support in the compiled binaries and add the media.av1.enabled setting in about:config.
Pale Moon has AV1 code enabled. Was it just forgotten for Basilisk?

Re: AV1 video codec support
Yes, this was apparently an oversight. AV1 support will be enabled in Basilisk with the next release.
Re: AV1 video codec support
Basilisk 2020.04.15 still doesn't have AV1 enabled, at least the Win32 version doesn't. I haven't tried Win64 nor any of the Linux builds.
Re: AV1 video codec support
Huh... that's weird. It -should- be enabled according to the configuration variables defined. We'll investigate.

Re: AV1 video codec support
Yeah, I didn't know the logic for MOZ_AV1 was in mozconfigure and not ac configure and that is why confvars didn't work.

I've moved the logic to ac configure (where it belongs) so the confvars setting works. We'll probably have another build soon to enable it "for real this time"

Re: AV1 video codec support
Not powerful enough hardware to keep up with decoding?

Re: AV1 video codec support
Its powerful enough i think, i have checked on the latest firefox nightly, it plays perfectly.
Re: AV1 video codec support
Well if I enable AV1 here it plays just fine too.

Re: AV1 video codec support
I also have checked on linux amd e450 laptop,сertainly its not powerful at all, and video plays fine.
Huh, where to find hardware requriements, what does it loads cpu or videocard.

Re: AV1 video codec support
I think libaom is a reference implementation that will primarily use CPU to decode.

Re: AV1 video codec support
This is weird, i recently built my mingw version on winxp with old core2duo - the video plays perfect there!
Re: AV1 video codec support
More test for thought
win8 x64
Basilisk 32 - video freezes
Basilisk 64 - normal
My build of Basilisk with microsoft cl compiler - same as original basilisk
And my build with mingw compiler - video fine on x32 too, also i noticed that cl x32 only compiler eats all free memory
on files media\libaom\src\av1\common\cdef_block*, system freeze until compiled all cdef_block files, i have 6-7gb memory free.

Re: AV1 video codec support
Are you using VS2015 Update 3?

Re: AV1 video codec support
Uh sorry, i do not use VS2015 at all, i shall install it and check further.
Re: AV1 video codec support
... well, then. I'm surprised you haven't run into issues other than this before in that case.
