** Description changed: To test the snap with VA-API changes, 1. Install the Chromium snap, - sudo snap install --channel candidate/hwacc chromium + sudo snap install --channel beta/hwacc chromium 2. Start Chromium, - snap run chromium + snap run chromium 3. Open a video, e.g. one from https://github.com/chthomos/video-media- - samples + samples. 4. Enter about:media-internals in the address bar, click the corresponding box (if the video is playing, it will have the "(kPlay)" identifier) and note what the page says for kVideoDecoderName. Please report - The value for kVideoDecoderName from step 4. Success is typically {Vaapi,VDA,Mojo}VideoDecoder while failure is {FFMpeg,Vpx,Dav1d}VideoDecoder; - Xorg or Wayland (`echo $WAYLAND_DISPLAY`); - Distro version (`grep VERSION= /etc/os_release`); - GPU (`lscpu`); - CPU generation (`lscpu`).
