chromium: hardware video acceleration with VA-API

uncharted · 2023-05-25 18:14:28

I am able to get hardware accelerated video decoding working on my laptop in X11 environment with the integrated AMD Radeon GPU. The issue is I am not able to get this working on my other GPU.

from brave://version

Brave: 1.53.66 Chromium: 114.0.5735.35 (Official Build) beta (64-bit) 
Revision: 2295354895fa3652ae47b651481831484f16d1ff-refs/branch-heads/5735@{#713}
OS: Linux
JavaScript: V8 11.4.183.8

I used the following flags to get it working on my integrated GPU

 --ignore-gpu-blocklist --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder,VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,UseSkiaRenderer

This is from my brave://gpu in both of the GPUs cases

 Video Acceleration Information
Decoding
Decode h264 baseline
16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels
Decode h264 main
16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels
Decode h264 high
16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels
Decode vp9 profile0
16x16 to 8192x4352 pixels
Encoding
Encode h264 baseline
321x241 to 4096x2304 pixels, and/or 30.000 fps.
Encode h264 main
321x241 to 4096x2304 pixels, and/or 30.000 fps.
Encode h264 high
321x241 to 4096x2304 pixels, and/or 30.000 fps.

The driver information section is a bit weird because it keeps saying that the "active" browser is always the gpu0 (it's the integrated one), even after switching GPUs. The hardware decoding also doesn't work in the case of the dedicated GPU; I confirmed it with the media-internals tab as well as the media section in devtools.

This is the output when launching browser just normally

This is the output when launching it with environment variable `DRI_PRIME=1`

These are the details of my GPU

On my steam deck(AMD APU), laptop(Intel APU) with Wayland on 113 version (current) no combination of flags/env vars works, let's see how it will be in the next release

Chromium 114.0.5735.106, iHD video, wayland, default settings.

The only one flag in ~/.config/chromium-flags.conf

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL

It works for me.

If the flag

--ozone-platform-hint=auto

is not included, then chromium is just running on xwayland...I still cannot get vaapi working on native wayland

memyselfandi · 2023-06-12 15:09:13

It seems the latest chromium-wayland-vaapi requires patched wayland libraries.

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/wayland-chromium

rican-linux · 2023-06-15 00:37:49

Can you add the environment variable to the chromium-flags.conf?

I added the variable via Flatseal for my Chromium Flatpak installation. But it doesn't seem to have any effect at the moment.

Nvidia video acceleration doesn't work with Wayland . Has anyone got it to work?

Same case, a memory leak and gpu hang after couple of hours.

gladykov · 2023-06-23 14:27:28

Did some more tests, and situation is more complicated, as flags combinations differ, while using same version of Chromium engine with different browsers

Setup:
XFCE (X11), Intel HD 630, intel-media-driver (iHD env variable), LIBVA_DRI3_DISABLE=1

Chromium 114.0.5735.133

working set of flags:

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --use-gl=angle

Chrome 114.0.5735.133

working set of flags:

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --use-gl=angle --disable-features=Vulkan

Opera 114.0.5735.199

working set of flags:

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --use-gl=angle

Used video:

Extension:

It works with chromium-wayland-vaapi (at least with my tiger lake intel igpu, and videos of format x264), while it crashes a lot when I use fcitx5 (via the flag --enable-wayland-ime), which is a deal-breaker for me...

Sorry for not seeing that you have a nvidia gpu, I'm not sure if libva-nvidia-driver will work with chromium-wayland-vaapi or not...

Anyone has a working set of flags for current chromium based browsers (Vivaldi 6.1.3035.100) working with nvidia gpus on x11?

gilvbp · 2023-06-28 22:44:48

Log shows this:

hello,
when I use this command arg for chomium:

chromium --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --use-gl=angle

I get supported decoder list in chrome://gpu

Video Acceleration Information
Decoding
Decode h264 baseline 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels
Decode h264 main 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels
Decode h264 high 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels
Decode vp8 16x16 to 4096x4096 pixels

Decode hevc main 10 16x16 to 8192x8192 pixels
Decode hevc main still-picture 16x16 to 8192x8192 pixels

But when I play video (ex. 4k60fps), I get in chromium logs(many times) following error:

[219284:219510:0630/204217.581191:ERROR:vaapi_video_decoder.cc(1245)] : failed Initialize()ing the frame pool

and also very high cpu usage, intel_gpu_top shows 'video' usage 0%

Hydro01 · 2023-07-05 20:44:24

I have

--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL
--ozone-platform-hint=auto

and intel-media-driver and it seems working according to the outputs from intel_gpu_top.
However it doesn't seems to work on my desktop with an AMD card even with

--enable-features=VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks

in addition to the two flags above. All formats supported through vaapi did show up though.

I am trying to play around with this, but it's hard to see what's available. Is there a way to list the available flags?

Nope
But https://peter.sh/experiments/chromium-c … -switches/

I tried these flags

—ignore-gpu-blocklist —enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder,VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks —disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,UseSkiaRenderer

But when I start play youtube video

The DevTools media pages shows VDA Error 4

And the terminal shows

[9836:9836:0712/170352.495947:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(2827)] vaPutSurface failed, VA error: unknown libva error
[9836:9836:0712/170352.496189:ERROR:vaapi_video_decode_accelerator.cc(287)] Failed putting surface into pixmap

What is the better way to fix this issue?

I tried and both get the same result on Ubuntu 22.04 and HD530(i5-6500) intergated GPU and Manjaro Linux with UHD620(i5-8250U)
Both with Nvidia Prime(The intergated GPU is modesetting)

This commit will be the cause.
As a workaround, I disabled this commit and rebuilded libva package as follows.
curl -LO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/archl … k/PKGBUILD
sed -i -e '/arch-meson libva build/i \ \ sed -i "s\/va_DRI3_Get\/va_DRI2_Get\/g" ./libva/va/x11/va_x11.c' PKGBUILD
makepkg -sc
After installing the rebuilded libva package, videos are hardware decoded.

I found the solution.
I tried this way to patch the libva (Now is 1.18.x) to fix the DRI3 things, the video can be hardware decoded.

Yes, it's what was mentionned by Korialo and joaopauloalbq above. It currently creates a memory leak. And the hang at exit is because Xorg is taking forever to cleanup and release all the memory that was allocated for chrome.

I opened https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/is … id=1467689 feel free to chime in and add any info you have ...

I have the same problem, but only using "modesetting" dirver. With old intel driver it's ok.

Oh that's interesting.

Which hardware do you have ?

Here I have a 12th gen intel and the intel driver is too broken for that platform AFAICT, it causes more issues than it solves.
