Okay, I'll try to claim it and send it to a charity. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to firefox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424201 Title: Web browsers lacking hardware-accelerated video decoding Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in Mozilla Firefox: Fix Released Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in chromium-browser package in CentOS: Unknown 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.
