WPB-22425 [Web] - Camera Decoding Issue

Pull Request

Summary

This change improves camera stability on HP devices by disabling hardware acceleration early during application startup.

We identified a known issue affecting HP laptops/desktops when using Electron (Chromium) together with MJPEG camera streams. In these cases, GPU-accelerated video decoding can lead to partially gray or corrupted video frames and unstable frame rates.

To mitigate this, hardware acceleration is now disabled before Chromium initialization on HP devices only. The detection is based on the system manufacturer and runs synchronously during startup, ensuring the correct media pipeline is selected.

This approach prioritizes stability over GPU acceleration and avoids known Intel/Chromium MJPEG decode issues while keeping the change limited in scope.

Key points

• Hardware acceleration is disabled before Electron/Chromium initialization
• The change is limited to HP devices
• Prevents partially gray frames and MJPEG decode instability
• No impact on application logic or camera APIs
