Hi,
I have a fedora38 desktop and having a problem playing 4k videos.
When
playing some videos, my entire system becomes sluggish and slow to
respond,
like the system is under extreme load or all resources are consumed
by
graphics rendering.
This is the lspci info for my video card:
07:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
[AMD/ATI]
Ellesmere [Radeon RX 470/480/570/570X/580/580X/590] (rev ef)
CPU utilization doesn't appear to be a problem, so really have no
idea why
this is happening. Perhaps a missing codec? How do I control hardware
rendering?
What other information can I provide to help troubleshoot this?
At a minimum, what video software is this, and what codec does the
video use? For the latter, use (e.g.) mediainfo to find out.
