No video in Chromium/Wayland, OK in Xorg

[jb82]

Hey,
a few days ago, I managed to start dwl (Wayland) for the first time on my NVIDIA GPU. So far so good, but Chromium does not play videos in Wayland whereas it plays anything just fine in Xorg. The very same binary/config. Any ideas please? (Regardless HW acceleration config option.) 14.1-RELEASE

hi mate

are you talking about standard videos like on youtube or videos that require drm

heres my chromium-browser.desktop entry
to enable Hardware accelerated playback

you should install libc6-shim for nvidia if you havent already
libc6-shim installs nv-sglrun for cuda support

sudo pkg install libc6-shim

~/.local/share/applications/chromium-browser.deskop
