[Solved] Chromium using FFmpegVideoDecoder even though vaapi is setup.

Oblivion7 · 2019-03-16 16:57:38

Hello for some reason chromium (maybe a recent update?) has stopped using the mojo video decoder thing(gpu) and I cant figure out why everything seems to check out but I still get FFmpegVideoDecoder, any help is appreciated.

Oh, I see that sucks don't really want to compile chromium-vaapi again, guess I might use his precompiled package, well thanks for letting me know o7
