  • hardware requirements: Kaby Lake (Intel 7th Gen) and newer platforms

  • minimal flags

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL
--ozone-platform-hint=auto

For EGL support (optional), install the aur depend (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wayland-chromium) and try these flags (tested on Intel HD Graphics 4400)

--use-gl=egl
--in-process-gpu

For experimental text-input-v3 support (optional), try these flags (tested with IBus on GNOME, may conflict with other flags, like --gtk-version=4)

--enable-wayland-ime

I had the pleasure of testing this new package and performance noticeably flies on my Gen9 iGPU. Don't know what to say other than please keep up the good work of building chromium with vaapi for Wayland. https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:zhmars:arch/chromium-wayland-vaapi-next

There is another experimental package for test. It was built with some patches from ubuntu. Unfortunately, I can't test it by myself as it requires new platform. For hardware requirements and other details, please see https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/chromium-hardware-accelerated-build-for-intel-based-platforms-available-for-beta-testing/35625

@mars, sorry for delay. Please update to the 116 version as you described, I tested it on my latitude notebook,x11 and Wayland Vaapi are working!

Has anyone enabled hardware video acceleration in chromium 116 (from extra repo) on X11? @gilvbp @whitecatkeke

It seems fail to work due to commit 6fb414a7d51f46940cf9c45df04f6ee398f8da1b. The wayland patch required by this package is also broken after the commit. Not sure what I am supposed to do.

  • stay with 115, rebuild prebuilt package for the re2 update
  • update to 116, revert the commit (and other commits it depends) and wait google to break it again

Edit: A experimental prebuilt package of v116 is here. Hardware acceleration should works as usual on X11 and wayland (for me at least).

Vaapi not working with Nvidia Wayland (only xwayland does work), the log shows this: Failed to export buffer to dma_buf: No such file or directory (2)

update: is a regression bug, already in progress to be fixed. https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1273758#c8

After discussing with @whitecatkeke, it seems the flag he mentioned sucessfully enable hardware video acceleration on his hardware, but still fail on mine (Intel HD Graphics 4400). If the flag works for you, then wayland-chromium is unneeded. It has been changed as an optional depend.

mars commented on 2023-06-16 03:46 (UTC)

@whitecatkeke If chromium from extra repo actually works for you, I dont think wayland-chromium or even chromium-wayland-vaapi is needed. But I am curious how you confirm it works with the flags you mentioned on native wayland. And could you share the output of about:gpu page?

whitecatkeke commented on 2023-06-15 22:13 (UTC)

Is https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wayland-chromium needed? I am on 114.0.5735.106-1. It works without the wayland-chromium.

Saw it from https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=244031&p=33: --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL does the job.

Works with both Wayland and XWayland on my PC with intel GPU.

It shows VDA Error 4 on RX 6900 XT kde wayland
