[Bug 1424201] Re: Web browsers lacking hardware-accelerated video decoding
As stated by Daniel, the problem is one of maintenance. Maintaining a patch against a large and fast-moving code base such as chromium has a cost, which is why it's always preferable to have such changes upstreamed. As it is clear that upstream is not going to enable hardware-accelerated video decoding on Linux anytime soon (if ever), the distro patch is indeed the way to go. That fedora patch is relatively small and maintainable as it is today, so I'll update the snap package to include it (until now it was in a dedicated channel). In response to comment #92, there is a plan to deprecate the chromium- browser deb package in favour of the snap in the near future, so development and testing focus is on the snap. -- 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: Web browsers lacking hardware-accelerated video decoding 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
