(update, Vulkan disappeared!) Believe it or not, I solved! For real this time! | HW Video Acceleration

[edwardp]

openSUSE upgraded Chromium to 133.0.6943.98 and the #vulkan flag is present.

Looks like the Chromium project has been removing that flag, then adding it back.

Updated to the new version 7.2, was expected video acceleration stopped working, even if it looks like it should. Vulkan is there, the flags are there.

Downgraded and... not it don't want to work anymore on 7.1...

I'll insist a few more times.

@Panino We have done nothing specially relataed to tweaking Vulkan support in recent times nor is this something we want to tweak right now, with the size of the team we currently have.

Are you seeing any difference to other 134 Chromium based browsers? I suspect not but would love to have confirmation.

@Panino ...

you are making it so difficult to yourself having 127 different irrelevant flags enabled and whatnot, HVA works fine with OpenGL on Wayland (--ozone-platform-hint=wayland) with the intel media drivers and the --enable-features=AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxZeroCopyGL,AcceleratedVideoDecodeLinuxGL parameter. Reset all flags or try it in a new profile from this base point, experimenting with X11 as well if you need it, maybe it works with it too.
