VLC 4.0.0-dev Otto Chriek - rtsp works, OpenGL GLX broken.
installed from Snap.. https://snapcraft.io/vlc $ sudo snap install vlc --edge
Easy to know OpenGL is Broken:
- High CPU Load.
- NVidia GPU HW Sharpness at 100% is very soft, barely noticeable. CPU X11 XCB Sharpness at 100% is Overkill.
3.0.16 Vetinari OpenGL GLX works Ok with Nvidia GT 740, Not AMD HD7950. has 2 OpenGL, Normal and OpenGL2 OpneGL2 does Not work, broken. EGL does Not work, broken.
VLC 4.0.0-dev removed the working OpenCL module.
Nvidia Propietary driver 470 tested. Kubuntu 21.10 PNY GT 740 pcie Thunderbolt2 Macmini 2014 8gb Apple TB2 TB3 bidirectional-adapter. Razer Core X Chroma eGpu, see www.egpu.io for more.
Sharpness also does Not work well in Otto unless i click save. with a short video in loop mode.
download a video like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6Lbo-4OsZk
with 4k downloader, loader.to, etc... 4k downloader allows to download .mkv and .mp4 of the same link, sometimes .mp4 is smaller, sometimes .mkv is smaller, https://www.4kdownload.com/downloads-2#
downloaded both mkv & mp4 same 1080p60fps
to test HW acceleration.
Nvidia GT 740 acceleration works with Output module GLX in 3.0.16
Removed Nvidia GT 740 Installed AMD HD 7950,
VLC No HW acceleration, CPU only h.264
HD7950 acceleration is working in X i can verify with KDE Compositor, wobbly window effect, works with OpenGL 3.1 & OpenGL 2.0 but.. VLC 3.0.16 HW acceleration does Not work with AMD HD7950.
