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.

@jeois @Shished Thanks for the report, updated.

It seems the upstream maintainer now includes the chromium-fix patch, according to a quick scan of the code. So, there is no need to apply that patch anymore.

Therefore, simply delete the line containing "chromium-fix.patch" in the prepare() function of the PKGBUILD in order to compile/install for use with chromium-vaapi. It still works fine, with the same exceptions as before.

Otherwise, the package will not build like previous comment mentioned.

This package provides modified libva-vdpau-driver with vp9 decoding added. H264 support is not removed from it.

Installing libva-vdpau-driver-vp9-git will remove: libva-vdpau-driver-chromium (libva-vdpau-driver)

This means installing this driver will remove h.264 support provided by libva-vdpau-driver-chromium for nVidia cards, right?

Would there be a way to keep both h.264 and vp9 support in the driver?

Thanks, updated.

You need to apply a patch to make it to work in Chromium >= 79
