 Posted: Thu Apr 15, 2021 9:02 am Post subject: chrome video playback hardware acceleration with nvidia card |
 |
|
I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti and I'm using google-chrome-beta-90.0.4430.72.
I'm trying to enable hardware accelerated video playback when watching YouTube with chrome.
I added both "vaapi" and "vdpau" in /etc/portage/make.conf and installed the following packages:
| Code: |
x11-libs/libva-2.10.0
x11-libs/libva-vdpau-driver-0.7.4-r5
x11-libs/libvdpau-1.4
|
vdpauinfo is giving me the following output:
| Code: |

But vainfo is showing the following error:
| Code: |
libva info: VA-API version 1.10.0
libva error: vaGetDriverNameByIndex() failed with unknown libva error, driver_name = (null)
vaInitialize failed with error code -1 (unknown libva error),exit
|
When I play video in chrome, the developer tools shows it's using FFmpegVideoDecoder, with no hardware acceleration.
I managed to enable hw acceleration in archlinux, the only difference I see is that they have this aur called "libva-vdpau-driver-chromium", which is VDPAU backend for VA API. (special version for chromium). But in gentoo, there's only the libva-vdpau-driver package. |

Do NOT emerge them yourself.Let them be pulled rather by USE flags.

Adding "--use-gl=desktop" flag doesn't help.
I didn't manually install those packages, they were automatically pulled after I added "vaapi" and "vdpau" to make.conf |

After I set " LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=vdpau", the "vainfo" command is now segment fault:
| Code: |
libva info: VA-API version 1.10.0
libva info: User environment variable requested driver 'vdpau'
libva info: Trying to open /usr/lib64/va/drivers/vdpau_drv_video.so
libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_10
zsh: segmentation fault vainfo
|
I checked, "vdpau_drv_video.so" is indeed in "/usr/lib64/va/drivers/".
if I type "chrome://gpu" in google-chrome-beta's address bar, it shows the following error messages:
| Code: |
[10893:10893:0416/103107.285255:ERROR:vaapi_wrapper.cc(1067)] : vaQuerySurfaceAttributes failed, VA error: invalid parameter
