I recently started using my Chromebook more and was struggling to find a way to make the video playback smoother when using mpv running on ChromeOS.

I quickly realized the default config doesn't use hardware accel on ChromeOS as it is disabled for crostini.

I wrote a guide on how to enable it and use a custom config to enhance the user experience.

GitHub repo is a fork modified to enable mpv hw accel support in crostini.

The Linux container is sand-boxed. but the chrome browser does by default send a lot of metrics back to Google.

EDIT: I only bought this device for experiments. It is a very low end, efficient laptop. I don't use it for anything else.
