on Ubuntu 19.10 I tried to use chromium from snap store and both ppa (dev, and beta) in order to use it with libva on Intel graphics. I used to use Fedora's chromium package with libva and mostly I never experienced any problem. As of today, I have these issues:
- Snap's provided chromium (vaapi channel) doesn't do GPU acceleration of Video decode even when the required libraries are provided.
- The ppa chromium versions work but with an interesting issue. Only the first tab that I use for video play does the acceleration. After that if I close the tab, it doesn't even open the page which has media on it (or second tab in the browser).
I wonder what is others experience. I looked into the git patches that ppa has and it looks like they are using similar patches that Arch or Fedora packages are using. Is there I am missing?
