Hi Olivier. I totally understand Canonical's position, Upstream is always better.
But we have here with google a competitive unfair distrortion. They are doing their best to keep desktop linux behind by ignoring this patch for several years. The result is that Linux laptops are not competitive in term of battery life and performance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL - BR, which is subscribed to Chromium Browser. 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 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.
