On firefox everything is good
Is it possible to somehow enable support for HEVC on chromium?
I have 1080 GTX as I understand it does not have support for VA-API in noveau
https://nouveau.freedesktop.org/VideoAcceleration.html
As I understand it, the only way to enable support for HEVC on Chromium is to enable VA-API, and on Nvidia it is only available on Noveau,
but as I understand it, VA-API on Noveau is only available for <900 video cards, so I can’t do anything to stay on Chromium with HEVC?

VA-API in chromium on NVIDIA cards works with nvidia driver, libva-nvidia-driver transition layer and the following flags
--ozone-platform=wayland --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,VaapiOnNvidiaGPUs,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks
Currently it only works on wayland, X11 support is broken

No way man, thank you very much!!
Holy, i wasted like 5 hours yesterday
Before that I tried to add flags as written in this pool https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi-driver/pull/341
and it didn't work, but it works with yours

As noted and confirmed in that very same thread:
• https://github.com/elFarto/nvidia-vaapi … 2954250789
Also note that chromium 140 defaults to --ozone-platform-hint=auto so the Wayland flag is soon to become unnecessary.

Sad it dosen't work on X11... is there absolutely no way? Did it ever work? I'm mainly hoping I can make discord play HEVC videos. I'm able to get it to try, but it turns the whole window gray and then it breaks the player.
