[Bug 1424201] Re: Chromium does not use the GPU to decode videos
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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424201 Title: Chromium does not use the GPU to decode videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1424201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1424201] Re: Chromium does not use the GPU to decode videos
The current upstream effort is tracked at https://chromium- review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/532294. However it doesn't seem to be getting much traction. I am reluctant to distro-patching as it's a rather large patch that often gets outdated with new chromium versions, with non-trivial conflicts to solve that sometimes involve re- architecting. I am in the process of transitioning to snaps as the official way of getting chromium updates on Ubuntu. Once that's complete the maintenance burden will be largely alleviated and I might consider maintaining that patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424201 Title: Chromium does not use the GPU to decode videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1424201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@dino99 : are you working at google on chromium ? Your argument is pretty wrong, there is Zero impact if this feature is hidden with a flag that one could enable when deployed.

Tentatively assigned myself to re-assess the situation, and try to understand if enabling VAAPI support is doable with a distro-patch, and how much work that would represent. ** Changed in: chromium-browser (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Olivier Tilloy (osomon) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1424201 Title: Chromium does not use the GPU to decode videos To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/chromium-browser/+bug/1424201/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

hi Michel i understand the general frustation, but chromium is not the only choice after all.

Hi chad , For few versions chromium was unable to use the vaapi , It's now possible again using the patch from the dev branch : https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev Can you integrate this patch ?
