Disable / Enable Hardware Acceleration via JSON - tojo2503 - 2020-05-29

Hi,

so far I have only enabled / disabled AddOns via json.
Now I’d like to enable / disable two settings on Android. They’re in Settings—>Player —> Video:

1. Allow Hardware Acceleration - MediaCodec (Surface)
2. Allow Hardware Acceleration - MediaCodec

I could not find an example how to access these specific settings, that are not available on every system...

Could someone help me out or give me a hint? Official documentation on the wiki didn’t help me.

Thanks a lot for your work! :-)

afaik it's called "videoplayer.usemediacodecsurface" and "videoplayer.usemediacodec"
you can change it by using "Settings.SetSettingValue" to True/False

Thanks! That worked. Is there a list somewhere to find the names of the specific settings? So I don't have to ask in the future? Couldn't find anything.

you always can take a look at the guisettings.xml in your userdata folder
