Title:
Use build flag "use_vaapi=true" for Chromium 86+
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Upstream allowed to enable VAAPI through
chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode
Commit URL:
https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/2208531
But Chromium still needs to be built with flag "use_vaapi=true"
Patch could be easily backported to version 85 but currently Chromium needs
to be run with
--use-gl=desktop switch
(I have Bionic build on test PPA
https://launchpad.net/~xalt7x/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-deb-vaapi-test-upstream)
Please use this build flag for Snap and Deb builds (16.04 , 18.04) so
people with Intel & AMD on X11 wouldn't need to rely 3rd-party PPAs
for Hardware acceleration.
Thanks!
