@dino99 : are you working at google on chromium ? Your argument is pretty wrong, there is Zero impact if this feature is hidden with a flag that one could enable when deployed.
Today we are stuck because we need to recompile. Sorry but one could think that google wants to slow DesktopLinux progress. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424201 Title: Chromium does not use the GPU to decode videos Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: The chromium team has done a great job to totally disable hardware decoding on Linux. Even ignoring the GPU blacklist does not enable GPU decoding. How ever the patch is quite simple and it's already working using this PPA ( using libVA ) : https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev the corresponding patch is here : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/chromium-browser/chromium- browser.trusty.beta/view/head:/debian/patches/enable_vaapi_on_linux.diff that would be great if we could have this patch indefault Ubuntu chromium build, this situation is really sad right now, google use linux to make chromeOS so chromebook are really good at playing videos but GNU/Linux chromium is slow at doing it.
