I can get VDAVideoDecoder with these new distros but not with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and suspecting that package. I run Google Chrome (currently 91.0.4472.114) with these flags: --use-gl=desktop --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --force-dark-mode --flag-switches-begin --enable-gpu-rasterization --enable-zero-copy --ignore-gpu-blocklist --flag-switches-end --origin-trial-disabled- features=SecurePaymentConfirmation with intel-media-driver-non-free installed. vainfo: libva info: VA-API version 1.7.0 libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_7 libva info: va_openDriver() returns 0 vainfo: VA-API version: 1.7 (libva 2.6.0) vainfo: Driver version: Intel iHD driver for Intel(R) Gen Graphics - 20.1.1 () vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointVideoProc VAProfileNone : VAEntrypointStats VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Simple : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileMPEG2Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointFEI VAProfileH264Main : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointFEI VAProfileH264High : VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileVC1Simple : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Main : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVC1Advanced : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileJPEGBaseline : VAEntrypointEncPicture VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointFEI VAProfileH264ConstrainedBaseline: VAEntrypointEncSliceLP VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP8Version0_3 : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileHEVCMain : VAEntrypointFEI VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileHEVCMain10 : VAEntrypointEncSlice VAProfileVP9Profile0 : VAEntrypointVLD VAProfileVP9Profile2 : VAEntrypointVLD Tried with iHD and i965, nothing changed at all. Got VpxVideoDecoder instead of VDAVideoDecoder and my GPU has the capability of using VDAVideoDecoder, as it worked with Ubuntu 21.04 and Fedora 34. I have Intel UHD Graphics 620. lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS Release: 20.04 apt-cache policy intel-media-va-driver-non-free intel-media-va-driver-non-free: Installed: 20.1.1+ds1-1build1 Candidate: 20.1.1+ds1-1build1 Version table: *** 20.1.1+ds1-1build1 500 500 http://tr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal/multiverse amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status What you expected to happen: Got VDAVideoDecoder when watching a video with Google Chrome.
