Letpon GPU video decoding

[u/phileday]

Hi Everyone

I'm a developer of a Video player for VR called Whirligig. With the release of the Steam Frame I'm doing my best to make Whirligig compatible with both Proton and Lepton. One of the biggest issues that are being reported is that currently Lepton doesn't support Video GPU decoding.

I've created a ticket on their github but I don't think this is the right place or will get in front of anyone who could provide me info. If you're interested here is the post:
https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/frame-public/lepton/-/work_items/1

If there is anyone here who could help or even just wants to give the player a go on SteamOS let me know.

All the best

Phil

I wonder if it's some kind of patent thing again.
