Video playback on Chromium

Dear all and bernhardfink‌,

The product makes GUI application using HTML5.

It includes video playback.

So, we wants to work the Chromium on i.MX8M.

It seems that we cannot use the H/W decoder in VPU although we built it according to a post here.

Best Regards,

George

Thanks,

George
