      <title>Why Doesn't Chrome for Linux support Hardware Accelerated Decoding?</title>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I have a desktop PC (Core i7-3770 with Nvidia GTX 780 ti) that does not support Hardware Accelerated Decoding in Linux (Kubuntu, Manjaro).&amp;nbsp; I am aware that this computer can only decode H.264, and does not Support VP9.&amp;nbsp; However, with the Stadia Enhanced Chrome-App, I can force H.264 Video, and it will show "Software H.264" is running.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a new Desktop PC now, a Minisforum HX90 - This has a Ryzen 9 5900HX, with built in AMD Vega 8 Graphics.&amp;nbsp; Again, there is no Hardware Accelerated Decoding available in Linux.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have tested both of these computers with Windows 10 (and 11 on the Minisforum HX90).&amp;nbsp; Acceleration in Chrome (Google, Brave, and Edge) works "out of the box" with no problems what-so-ever.&amp;nbsp; The i7/GTX780ti uses H.264 Hardware decoding by default, and the Minisforum HX90 uses Hardware VP9 by default.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I actually own an Asus Chromebook C425 - It runs Stadia wonderfully, along with Hardware VP9 (and H264) decoding.&lt;BR /&gt;Chrome OS is a Linux based OS, so it's not the fault of the hardware manufacturers.&amp;nbsp; This computer runs an Intel Core m3 Processor.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sooooooo.....&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT size="5" color="#FF0000"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Why doesn't the Chrome Browser for Desktop Linux have Hardware Based Decoding?&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I don't know much about Linux, but I do know that in terms of drivers it's pretty lacking, generally. Could it be that the drivers just don't support it for Linux?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;As for why it does work on ChromeOS, I'm pretty sure that Google or the manufacturers of the devices have to include drivers which meet certain requirements (i.e. hardware accelerated h 264 decoding).&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.stadia.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/43439"&gt;@Shibblet&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is somehow disabled by Google. I also run linux but with a AMD device. You should have Chrome 92 at minimum.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If I run chrome this way press ALT+F2 to run a command:&amp;nbsp;&lt;EM&gt;google-chrome-stable --use-gl=desktop --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder&amp;nbsp;&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;Found online that could work Intel also or this one: &lt;EM&gt;google-chrome-stable --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder --use-gl=desktop --disable-features=UseOzonePlatform&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;My apologies for the frustration here.&amp;nbsp; But no one seems to understand this actual problem.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Using "--use-gl=desktop" and "--enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder" doesn't actually solve the problem.&amp;nbsp; It only allows for "Hardware Assisted" decoding.&amp;nbsp; You may get Hardware based decoding in YouTube with these features, but they don't do ANYTHING for Stadia.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I do not know why Google keeps removing Hardware Acceleration from their Linux Browser, but for some reason, they don't want to support it!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Some like to blame Nvidia/AMD/Intel, others like to blame Google/Chromium.&amp;nbsp; In the mean-time, Linux users wait for nothing to happen.&amp;nbsp; There's no forward motion here!&amp;nbsp; Just a flippin' blame game.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here's a great solution!!!&amp;nbsp; Make a Linux Client for Stadia that uses HW Acceleration... I mean, if you don't want to update your browser to do so...&amp;nbsp; Come on Google... do SOMETHING.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;And it's not like this hasn't been brought up before.&amp;nbsp; I submit these links:&lt;BR /&gt;April 26th, 2021:&amp;nbsp; &lt;A href="https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-on-Chrome/Hardware-Acceleration-on-Chrome-for-Linux/m-p/59496#M3719" target="_self"&gt;https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-on-Chrome/Hardware-Acceleration-on-Chrome-for-Linux/m-p/59496#M3719&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;June 21st, 2021: &lt;A href="https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-General/Stadia-on-Linux-How-about-Chrome-VLC/m-p/63341#M26704" target="_self"&gt;https://community.stadia.com/t5/Stadia-General/Stadia-on-Linux-How-about-Chrome-VLC/m-p/63341#M26704&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="https://community.stadia.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/43439"&gt;@Shibblet&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;I am not sure if we can help within this community board.&lt;BR /&gt;Did you try to reach out to the &lt;A href="https://support.google.com/chrome/thread/new?hl=en" target="_self"&gt;Chrome community&lt;/A&gt;?&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;It is pretty strange Chrome doesn't support this while it is possible.&amp;nbsp;&lt;img class="lia-deferred-image lia-image-emoji" src="https://community.stadia.com/html/@A2E95DB37B15AAACA1858699D9E657C4/emoticons/1f644.png" alt=":face_with_rolling_eyes:" title=":face_with_rolling_eyes:" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;</description>
