I do not have H264 or H265 hardware decode working, only software
Hi - I just updated from Fedora Silverblue 41 -> Bazzite and I like all the things that are built in. I did rebase my rpm-ostree packages before updating. H264 and H265 video files from my downloads folder do work and stream, but my GPU is not getting any encode/decode activity. On Silverblue this was done by changing mesa to mesa-freeworld, but I can't seem to do that on Bazzite due to an error, and I was wondering if this was supposed to hardware decode by default (as it seems like from the website). Thanks!

I can confirm through Mission Center that my CPU is the one being used for all H264 and H265 decode
CPU: Ryzen 9600x
GPU: Rx 7800 XT
The following commands are what I would use on regular Silverblue Fedora to fix this but it does not work on Bazzite:

I also had this issue, and reverted back to F40.
