Details | Diff | Splinter Review
The Intel VPx hardware decoder has some buggy drivers and can actually be slower than the ffvp9 software decoder.
[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: We should disable Intel VPx hardware decoder (enabled in bug 1101885) in FF 44 because it can cause crashes.

Comment on attachment 8690596 [details] [diff] [review] Disable intel hardware VP decoder by default. It seems to be me this decoder is not ready to be used by default and therefore being pref'd off for 44. Taking it.
