That's a good point. If a single component needs multiple different fixes like separate ones for desktop and Pi then separate bugs are really required. This one is now reopened. Please reword the bug title here to make it more obvious this one is about Pi/ARM only. ** This bug is no longer a dupl

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1424201 *** https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424201 Thanks for the information all. We would need to find out if video decoding hardware exists behind V4L2 in the desktop case, or if that's just for Pi/ARM hardware. I strongly suspect it's the latter. Also,

Vaapi is not the only mechanism that can be used for hardware decode. V4l2 is an alternative, the one that will be used on the raspberry pi with the open source vc4 driver (see blog posts https://anholt.github.io/twivc4/2018/02/12/twiv/ ). I believe there is some communication between chromium and

Seems both statements are true :) The above patches relate to parts of the Chromium source named V4L2. But for the most efficient desktop video decoding you need to use VAAPI (https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=463440). I'm not sure those two are related, or that the former can

V4L2 doesn't have anything to do with video decoding that I know of, but maybe ARM is different... Yes I think that should read "VAAPI", not "V4L2". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs
