Dear Debian Chromium Team,



I am testing Debian Testing/Bookworm ARM64 with a NXP i.MX8MM board and Kernel 5.17. I try to use the new stateless v4l2 Linux API for video acceleration. The i.MX8MM has ha Hantro G1 and G2 stateless VPU. The VPU runs nice with Gstreamer 1.20 from Debian Testing /Bookworm if I use the following syntax:

gst-launch-1.0 filesrc location=~/Downloads/mixkit_night_tour_through_the_streets_of_a_big_city_40747_1_c18d1a09b3.mp4 ! parsebin ! v4l2slh264dec ! waylandsink



According to this link Chromium supports the new v4l2 request API for stateless VPUs as well:

Enabling V4L2 Driver in Chromium Builds (google.com) <https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/JUKeQBTG85w>



The following build flag must be set to enable it:

“use_v4l2_codec=true”



I have taken a look into “rules” file of http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/chromium/chromium_101.0.4951.64-1.debian.tar.xz <http://deb.debian.org/debian/pool/main/c/chromium/chromium_101.0.4951.64-1.debian.tar.xz>. There is no “use_v4l2_codec=true” entry. Is this flag set in another location? If I run Chromium 101 from Debian Testing with “--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder”chrome://gpu shows “Video decode=hardware accelerated” but CPU usage is still high. Could you add this flag in the future?



Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Kind Regards
