Wandboard Quad: how to use hw decoding video playback?

[abhayghatpande]

Hello I'm using the dizzy branch and built Chromium using the meta-browser repository. chrome://gpu reports:

Graphics Feature Status

Canvas: Hardware accelerated

Flash: Hardware accelerated

Flash Stage3D: Hardware accelerated

Flash Stage3D Baseline profile: Hardware accelerated

Compositing: Hardware accelerated

Rasterization: Hardware accelerated

Threaded Rasterization: Enabled

Video Decode: Hardware accelerated

Video Encode: Hardware accelerated

WebGL: Hardware accelerated

But when I try to play an mp4 video, it lags severely, doesn't seem to be using hw decoding. I just open the file on disk using file:// URI.

What could be the reason? gstreamer plays the same video smoothly. How to play the same video in Chromium hw accelerated?

Is it possible for someone to confirm if Chromium supports VPU-accelerated MP4 decoding on i.MX6Q?

If this is something that is not currently feasible, then I will redirect my efforts to other pending issues.

Will appreciate all inputs. Thanks,

The same video with Webm plays hardware accelerated without problems. I'm guessing this has something to do with the libavcodec and libh264 warnings I had when I built Chromium.
