Video upscaling in browser video players using AMD FidelityFX or similar technology

Would be nice to be able to use image upscaling on video players, as an optional feature you could toggle for any individual video player.

Awesome guys! You're probably gonna make this feature accessible via the regular GUI settings page as soon as you deem appropriate, but I hope it's sooner rather than later.

Good

I ended up here in because I was looking for this feature in Firefox. I was hoping I'd at least find an extension or something that would add the functionality. Whether the feature be GPU enabled or not, this feature is a must have. I use it everyday in Opera. I subjectively think it makes every video look better, and I watch everything in 4k (if possible) on a 4k TV. I think I just like sharper imagery vs softer.

I hope a more general shader is implemented. AMD's FSR1 is ideal. I use it with mpv player and its CPU usage is negligible while improving image quality considerably.

100% would love to have this with Intel cards. RTX is OK, but I don't want to use it on a laptop since it eats a lot of resources.

Something like Lucid on Opera or driver's upscaler on Edge would be awesome already.

May'be it's better to give this functionality to the OS because it's useful for all content on the user device and can be globally disable in OS settings if it makes problems?

I hope this will be a thing. It's also a big game changer for less data usage.

AMD has also had a video upscaling feature for quite a while now, but it is not yet supported on Firefox as far as I can find out. I feel like its existence has flown under the radar a bit, as I have yet to hear anyone talk about its implementation.

Could it be possible to codec up something in 1080p to 1440p and higher resolution by automatically up-scaling it to a higher resolution with a button in Firefox?  It tells you when it`s finished doing so,something for this browser ?

Is this feature ever coming? To remind, those with Radeon iGPUs would also benefit from this, so the userbase is potentially quite large.

It would already be an immense improvement to provide support for better scaling filter like Lanczos, Mitchell or Bicubic. The default Bilinear filter Firefox uses is neither great for down- nor upscaling.

Additional sharpening, like FSR1 uses it, can also boost artifacts noticeably and often distorts details for the illusion of sharpness.
