Public bug reported:
Chrome always gives software decoders for videos even though the same
method works on Ubuntu 21.04 or Fedora 34 with Xorg. I can get
VDAVideoDecoder with these new distros but not with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and
suspecting that package. I run Google Chrome (currently 91.0.4472.114)
with these flags:
--use-gl=desktop --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --force-dark-mode
--flag-switches-begin --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-zero-copy
--ignore-gpu-blocklist --flag-switches-end --origin-trial-disabled-
features=SecurePaymentConfirmation
with intel-media-driver-non-free installed.

Tried with iHD and i965, nothing changed at all. Got VpxVideoDecoder
instead of VDAVideoDecoder and my GPU has the capability of using
VDAVideoDecoder, as it worked with Ubuntu 21.04 and Fedora 34.
I have Intel UHD Graphics 620.

Got VDAVideoDecoder when watching a video with Google Chrome.

Got VpxVideoDecoder, which is a software decoder. Also, h264ify-variants did
not work.
Thanks in advance.
