Tried using the patch from hmann, but I still can't get vaapi to work yet (at least for Youtube videos + h264ify) on chromium 120.0.6099.129 and X11.
I'm currently using these chromium.conf flags:
--ozone-platform-hint=x11
--ignore-gpu-blocklist
--canvas-oop-rasterization
--use-gl=angle
--use-angle=vulkan
--enable-accelerated-video-decode
--enable-features=CanvasOopRasterization,Vulkan,VulkanFromANGLE,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,VaapiVideoDecoder,PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport,UseMultiPlaneFormatForHardwareVideo
Added canvas oop rasterization because it seemed to fix this error that I got in the chrome://gpu log without it
[12274:12274:0102/013006.255212:ERROR:gl_utils.cc(412)] : [.RendererMainThread-0x33b80036dc00]GL Driver Message (OpenGL, Performance, GL_CLOSE_PATH_NV, High): GPU stall due to ReadPixels (this message will no longer repeat)
not sure what it does/how it fixes it though...
Anyways, here is my chrome://gpu output:

I also get these errors in my chrome://gpu log after I try playing a full HD Youtube video,

I tried using FIrefox, and hardware decoding worked fine for Youtube videos, along with mpv which also worked fine. Though I'd rather use chromium
Any luck for me?

EDIT: incorrectly believed video decode was working, but it's only GPU acceleration in general, and using VpxVideoDecoder.

I don't think it is the right part to look at if you want to check vaapi on chromium is working or not, what does the part "Video Acceleration Information" say? For example, the following is displayed with chromium-wayland-vaapi on my intel tigerlake laptop, and this part is empty on my amdgpu setup with regular chromium...
Video Acceleration Information

Encode vp9 profile0 : 321x241 to 8192x8192 pixels, and/or 30.000 fps.
(even the amdgpu setup does show similar va infos on chromium-wayland-vaapi, hw decoding is still not working correctly, which can be observed with nvtop or similar tools, while it is a different story and you can find related patches for this issue in this post)

Gotcha. That's empty here. Perhaps I jumped the gun with stating "video", whereas it's just hardware/GPU accelerated apparently.
So, the "Video Decode: Hardware accelerated" is a lie. I was just surprised to finally see 4K/60fps video not drop frames for the first time with Wayland+nVidia.

I've tested this MR with Chrome 122 beta which ships ozone wayland compatible VaapiWrapper but unfortunately it's still a no go because the MR requires --use-angle=vulkan which is still not supported under ozone wayland.

I successfully tested Wayland VAAPI decode on my laptop with Chrome 122 beta and Chrome 123 dev (not success with Chrome 121 stable)
Intel iGPU (1260P), Hyprland (git), Chrome 122 beta (unmodified, AUR)
Flags:
google-chrome-beta --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --use-gl=angle --use-angle=gl --ozone-platform=wayland
Tested with YouTube (VP9, AV1) and Vimeo (H264)
Media-internals report use of "VaapiVideoDecoder" and intel_gpu_top reports "Video" and "VideoEnhance" activity by Chrome process.

I believe it works for Intel users with some flags. No idea about Nvidia. AMD users are out of luck, that MR it's all we have, hope it lands someday.

How is it possible that Linux has a standard interface, va-api, and it only works on certain hardware? Firefox has had va-api support for some time already.
Offline
Technically VDPAU from nvidia was first, intel decided they didn't want to adopt that and created VAAPI, which in turn nvidia didn't adopt (... officially, afaik the nvdec vaapi wrapper that floats around should be quite good) and AMD/mesa/gallium implemented support for both (i think fglrx used to use VDPAU primarily as well... but that best remains forgotten), but then there are implementation differences between the VAAPI implementation in mesa/gallium and the VAAPI implementation in the various intel drivers.

I got it working on Youtube (i see the GPU rendering in nvtop), but going to 8K, the video is verry laggy and instable. Up to 4K it works perfect, but 8K (which works fine without GPU rendering on the CPU), there is a lot of staggering or not loading at all. But i only have an Ryzen 7 5700G (with the embedded Ryzen Vega GPU), so the GPU might just be slower with video decoding than the CPU.
Which is kindy surprising as the Video Quality (and bitrate) of 8K YouTube is significantly lower than a 4K BluRay (which works perfectly fine with mpv). I measured roughly 20mbit/s for 8K (while an 4K BluRay has ~130mbit/s).

Interesting error... If i add this flags to my chrome and my chome web apps, it not show my icons correctly in Gnome desktop, on Taskbar... with Xwayland, it show the correct webapp icon on Taskbar, with native wayland, it show the default chrome icon...

App icons in Wayland come from the .desktop file. Check whether it's specified and if it's a valid path. Probably in ~/.local/share/applications/...
