I opened the 4K HEVC jelly video file with VLC, and the video was choppy with 90%+ CPU usage. The same with MPV.

But after web searching, I found this parameter, and now the video was played fine with lower than 10% CPU usage.

Code: Select all

mpv --hwdec=vaapi --gpu-context=x11egl --vo=gpu jelly.mkv
What is the equivalent for VLC? I think "hwdec" is like Codecs->Hardware-accelerated decoding, and "vo" is like Video->Output. But what is "gpu-context"?

VLC: 3.0.4
OS: Ubuntu 18.10
GPU: RX 560
