Re: chromium: hardware video acceleration with VA-API

sorry maybe off-topic, but is it possible to enable vaapi in electron apps like signal-desktop?

It used to work with Freetube.
So as long as you match the right flags/hardware/electron-release( so its chromium associated release) combination, it could work just as Chromium.

Re: chromium: hardware video acceleration with VA-API

Not a single problem after 120 release (ungoogled-chromium) on Intel. Dumping flags here, some of them are redundant at this point:

--disable-gpu-driver-bug-workarounds
--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL,UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,CanvasOopRasterization,WebUIDarkMode
--enable-gpu-rasterization
--ignore-gpu-blocklist
--ozone-platform=wayland
