Is Peertube playback more efficient than YouTube on older hardware?

[-] vividspecter@aussie.zone 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

This stream at least looks to be h264 only, which is more likely to be hardware decodable with older hardware than the vp9/av1 that Youtube usually uses.

Probably not

The issue is that the GPU is to old to support modern codices

Not sure about video playback, but I feel like the PeerTube website is much more efficient. The YouTube website is amazingly badly coded...
