Pinephone playing 1440p video on external display

I've noticed that gstreamer now supports cedrus, so I tried it and it looks like accelerated video decoding works:

So apps that use gstreamer should be able to use video decoding acceleration on Pinephone soon. Smile

Distros just need to update to gstreamer 0.18 and try it.

Sounds good - will it help playback in firefox? I see 1.18 packages in debian, same thing?

Firefox uses ffmepg/vaapi. So, no.
