As far as i know, Chromium uses a new video decoding backend. If chrome ://media-internals is showing MojoVideoDecoder as VideoDecoder it's using VA-API. Otherwise it falls back to FFMpegVideoDecoder or VPXVideoDecoder.
With the latest snap from candidate/vaapi (73.0.3683.86 REV-686) media- internals show that it's using MojoVideoDecoder. CPU-Usage around 10$ - 15% on an i3 Broadwell and HD5500-Graphics. Video Decode under chrome://gpu is also showing "Hardware accelerated" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1816497 Title: [snap] vaapi chromium no video hardware decoding To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1816497/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
