Ubuntu/Fedora Steam In Home Streaming, Fix slow decode(32&64bit in description)
A quick guide on getting hardware decoding to work on Ubuntu(Fedora 26 guide at end of description). This should help with Slow Decode on lower power machines with hardware decoders. And native Linux Games should perform better as well, using the native libs from your OS, and not Steam's outdated runtime. In this video: Steam Native + Stream Hardware Decoding + Radeon HD 3000 VAAPI (HD 3450 256MB in video) This video isn't only for Radeon HD 3000. Performance is much better than in the video(and even better if you have a stronger GPU). OBS isn't hardware accelerated so it hits the CPU and GPU hard. Make sure to have VDPAU and/or VAAPI drivers installed. And check your acceleration support with vdpauinfo and/or vainfo. You may or may not have to install more packages to finish off the necessary libs for running Steam native. Ubuntu 32-bit in video. Update: It works on 64-bit but I didn't record the process. I added a list of depends needed for 64-bit Ubuntu though.
