I just wanted to test chromium 105 with v4l2 hw decoding but I have not found an entry in chromium 105 debian package changelog . Do you have any plans to add the patch for sid?
Best regards Stefan Eschenbacher Thanks for the patch! The merged upstream patch is in chromium v105, but it's not in v104 (which is what we're currently on). v105 is slated for release on Aug 30th. I'll will try including your patch in the v105 upload, at least for sid. Since it depends on kernel 5.17 headers, I'm not yet sure what to do about bullseye.
