* If you are running Wayland on GNOME, you may need to launch Moonlight with the `-platform wayland` option to ensure hardware acceleration works.
* If you installed Moonlight via Flatpak, you would run `flatpak run com.moonlight_stream.Moonlight -platform wayland`
* The Snap package of Moonlight does not currently support hardware acceleration on Wayland.

# Raspberry Pi
Moonlight uses the Raspberry Pi's H.264 hardware decoder using the MMAL decoder library. MMAL requires enough GPU memory to be allocated to store video frames.
If the H.264 decoder fails to initialize, this usually means that the amount of reserved GPU memory is insufficient.
To increase the reserved GPU memory, run the following commands:
```
echo "gpu_mem=128" | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt
sudo reboot
```
