wrt #91 which snaps might those be? If its the regular 'chromium' snap it certainly doesn't make any mention of the fact it supports hardware video acceleration or includes the vaapi patch.

Even ignoring the GPU blacklist does not enable GPU decoding. How ever the patch is quite simple and it's already working using this PPA ( using libVA ) : https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev the corresponding patch is here : http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/chromium-browser/chromium- browser.trusty.beta/view/head:/debian/patches/enable_vaapi_on_linux.diff that would be great if we could have this patch indefault Ubuntu chromium build, this situation is really sad right now, google use linux to make chromeOS so chromebook are really good at playing videos but GNU/Linux chromium is slow at doing it.
