With the removal of --use-gl=desktop in Chromium 110, this extension is extremely brittle and effectively dead for many Chromium users. The new way of handling things in Chromium may further make any VDPAU-based solution impossible to support. If video acceleration is critical for you, the only solution might be to move to Firefox.

@yochanmarqos why are you asking me if I've used libva-vdpau-driver-chromium while literally directly responding to the sentence where I say libva-vdpau-driver-chromium works if you use h264ify...

@gardotd426: Have you tried libva-vdpau-driver-chromium? Is there any difference? Also, you should be using enhanced-h264ify, not the original.

This no longer works with Nvidia on Chromium starting in v87.

It works in <=86, but from 87+ it breaks. VP9 videos won't play at all (you get an error).

Using libva-vdpau-driver-chromium with h264ify will allow you to force h264 for some videos and get some hw acceleration, but you're limited to 1080p and it doesn't work a lot of the time, so if this driver could get fixed that would be fantastic.

This is an established/confirmed issue.

libva is now only a makedepend with libva-vdpau-driver 0.7.4-5.

@DDoSolitary Thanks, added. @Strykar I'm just packaging this so I don't know. It says it supports chromium only in the project page.

Missing makedepends git

Would it be possible to get this to work with Arch's community google-chrome-stable package or is this Chromium only?

@securetodeath I don't know, sorry. I'd think it results in the same thing as libva-vdpau-driver-chromium, but implemented differently.

securetodeath commented on 2020-07-25 20:10 (UTC)

Does this package include all the patches from libva-vdpau-driver-chromium as well? They're not in the PKGBUILD, but perhaps they're already applied in the git repo. Quickly browsing it didn't show the exact patches applied though, hence my question.
