Description of problem: Chromium needs to built againt VA-API 1.4 No vaapi acceleration because it's not using VA-API 1.4 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chromium-71.0.3578.98-1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Watch a h264 video (https://trailers.apple.com/ for example) 2. Go to chrome://media-internals/ 3. On "Players" tab, click "Recent players. Actual results: video_decoder FFmpegVideoDecoder, which means software video decoding. Expected results: video_decoder GpuVideoDecoder, which means hardware video decoding. Additional info: I need to use vaapi to watch Youtube for live streams, as using software decoding uses around 80% cpu and will stutter overtime.
Same here: [15414:15414:0225/145024.614476:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(343)] : This build of Chromium requires VA-API version 1.3, system version: 1.4 $ rpm -q chromium libva chromium-71.0.3578.98-1.fc29.x86_64 libva-2.4.0-2.fc29.x86_64
