Description Vladislav Solovei 2019-01-11 15:13:36 CET

Fedora 29, x86_64
CPU: Core I5-3570K
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB
Nvidia driver: 415.25

Installed:
chromium-vaapi version: 71.0.3578.98

libva-vdpau-driver-0.7.4-22.fc29.x86_64
libvdpau-va-gl-0.4.2-10.fc29.x86_64

I launch a chromium-vaapi and get errors:

chrome://gpu shows "Video Decode: Hardware accelerated", but, in fact, hw video decoding is not working (very high CPU load on h264 video playback)
chrome://media-internals shows "video_decoder	FFmpegVideoDecoder" - not a GPUVideoDecode

Hi.

Please see https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/libva-vdpau-driver/c/a830d5d7a5f335f89f2e634e9c70e8eb0e2a1999?branch=master


Also I'm thinking of blacklisting Nvidia GPUs from next update.

This is not a chromium-vaapi bug.
Closing.

Thanks for the report.

> Also I'm thinking of blacklisting Nvidia GPUs from next update.

That is, there will no longer be any possibility at all to use hardware acceleration of video decoding with (not so old) Nvidia GPUs?

There are two ways:
1) Either you have to use the patched libva-vdpau-driver that I have shared the link in comment 3
2)Ask Nvidia to officially support VA-API


Regarding blacklisting, you can enable it by enabling Override software rendering list flag in chrome://flags but get prepared to get crashes and other odds.
