Hi! From: https://code.launchpad.net/~nteodosio/chromium- browser/+git/chromium-browser/+merge/428038/comments/1137194
Is there any ETA for finishing the legal review of the inclusion of the non-free driver? Thanks! -- 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/1816497 Title: [snap] vaapi chromium no video hardware decoding Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: To test the snap with VA-API changes, 1. Install the Chromium snap, sudo snap install --channel beta/hwacc chromium 2. Start Chromium, snap run chromium 3. Open a video, e.g. one from https://github.com/chthomos/video- media-samples. 4. Enter about:media-internals in the address bar, click the corresponding box (if the video is playing, it will have the "(kPlay)" identifier) and note what the page says for kVideoDecoderName. Please report - The value for kVideoDecoderName from step 4. Success is typically {Vaapi,VDA,Mojo}VideoDecoder while failure is {FFMpeg,Vpx,Dav1d}VideoDecoder; - Xorg or Wayland (`echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY`); - Distro version (`grep VERSION= /etc/os_release`); - GPU (`lscpu`); - CPU generation (`lscpu`). Currently it seems to work for all reporters on Xorg, but not for all reporters on Wayland. Just to situate ourselves, beta/hwacc is [1] and I plan to merge it in the main snap via [2]. Comments before #176 refer to [3] and _should_ be roughly equivalent to [1], but I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out not to be.
