I get the exact error you report on #161 if I try the Wayland command (chromium --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --disable- features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder --ozone-platform=wayland) under Xorg. Please double check you are not under Xorg when trying the Wayland command.

Install the Chromium snap, sudo snap install --channel candidate/hwacc chromium 2. If on Xorg (`echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY` is empty), snap run chromium --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder If on Wayland (`echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY` is not empty), chromium --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --disable- features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder --ozone-platform=wayland 3. Open a video, e.g. one from https://github.com/chthomos/video- media-samples 4. Enter about:media-internals in the address bar 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}VideoDecoder; - If failed, the video used for testing, including codec and resolution if possible; - Xorg or Wayland (`echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY`); - Distro version (`grep VERSION= /etc/os_release`); - GPU (`lscpu`); - CPU generation (`lscpu`). About the last point, it may be that unfortunately only those with newer generations of Intel CPUs will have luck with this, but it's still an uncertainty. So reports are highly welcome. ----------Original Bug report --------- Libva is no longer working for snap installed chromium 72.0.3626.109 (Official Build) snap (64-bit) I followed this instruction sudo snap install --channel=candidate/vaapi chromium My amdgpu can use libva `vainfo: Driver version: Mesa Gallium driver 18.3.3 for AMD STONEY (DRM 3.27.0, 4.20.0-10.1-liquorix-amd64, LLVM 7.0.1) vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc` To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1816497/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
