Chromium 91 support
hfrappier opened this issue · 5 comments
With Chromium 91+ focusing mainly on vaapi, would it be worth it to revive rockchip-va-driver instead?
Well,
1/ The rockchip-va-driver is no longer maintained(out-dated and not zero-copy and very hacky)
2/ Chromium 91+ would still support v4l2 VDA(since there are lots of chromebook using v4l2 dec/enc)
3/ I know there are people working on a new vaapi implement for the mainline kernel's v4l2 dec/enc driver(not for rockchip though, but for the same kernel driver). I haven't test that, not sure could it work with chromium vaapi VDA. Besides we are mainly focus on our BSP kernel :(
Thanks for the quick reply!
V4L2 will indeed be supported for chromeos builds. I should have specified that VAAPI seems to be the main focus for linux.
right, for arm linux, i think chromeos is still focus on v4l2(for exynos/tegra/mtk and rockchip). but for desktop linux chromium it's indeed vaapi.
having v4l2 vda with desktop linux requires a few hacks, and that part seems not changed much in recent chromium versions, so guessing it's fine to use it so far.
Indeed. For reference, https://github.com/RidgeRun/chromium-jetson-accelerated.git enables v4l2 support for 90 on arm64 18.08
huh, i'm mainly use this plugin with meta-browser's chromium(wayland/x11):

and i'm planing to port it to chromium r91.
