Intel vaapi acceleration with chromium has stopped working with KDE Plasma?

Hi all.

I’ve always managed to have any Chromium-based browser to have Intel video hardware acceleration on Tumbleweed with Plasma.

I don’t know why, but it has stopped working, even on clean installed systems.

I usually:

  • enable flags on chrome://flags
  • install the codecs
  • install intel-media-driver, intel-gpu-tools and the gstreamer-plugins-vaapi
  • use “–enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL --ozone-platform-hint=auto” or “–enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiIgnoreDriverChecks,Vulkan,DefaultANGLEVulkan,VulkanFromANGLE” if Vulkan-rendered and then the browser would easily use the vaapi

In a terminal, I can double check with sudo intel_gpu_top

This doesn’t work anymore, but it works on any GNOME system. Should I report something to KDE?

“–enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL” has recently become “–enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL”, but wasn’t really announced.

This resolves the non-issue.
