I only tested a 13th gen U chip in the above comment. It looks like 13th
gen P chips should be supported so long as:
intel-media-driver >= 22.3.1+dfsg1-1ubuntu2 (per bug 2004237)
which it looks like snaps are shipping with now.
Newer Intel 14th gen and Ultra chips might not be supported yet,
Verified working in firefox (Wayland) on both Intel 12th and 13th gen
systems. intel_gpu_top shows hardware video decoding is in use straight

were 122.0-2 and 122.0-2.1, both Noble systems.

@Daniel, #146 mentions xwayland but we switched firefox to use wayland
by default since so it should work at least on waylands sessions? And #2
is about newer intel generation.
Said differently on a < 13th gen using wayland the videoacc should be
working out of the box no?

Based on a recent report (https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/problems-with-
intel-iris-xe-gpu-hardware-video-acceleration-in-22-04/34849/4), I think
Firefox is missing:
* Xwayland support: requires libva >= 2.17 in the gnome-42-2204 snap.
That's also missing from jammy-updates.
* Intel 13th gen

The vaapi-enabled snap currently lives in the candidate/vaapi channel,
which was automatically closed due to lack of updates, but an update
bringing it to the latest stable version is pending publication, so it
will soon be re-opened and available.
Once confirmed this works as expected, I plan to
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.
# snap info chromium

summary: Chromium web browser, open-source version of Chrome
As stated by Daniel, the problem is one of maintenance. Maintaining a
patch against a large and fast-moving code base such as chromium has a
cost, which is why it's always preferable to have such changes
upstreamed.
As it is clear that upstream is not going to enable hardware-accelerated
video
Last I heard, Ubuntu "applying the patch" wasn't feasible because it
kept breaking due to upstream changes in Chromium. It's not a patch we
can carry without someone volunteering to maintain it. But oSoMoN is the
expert here and will have more current information...
P.S. You can watch YouTube
Good to know. What is downside of enabling hardware acceleration in deb
packages too?
