Hey everyone,
I managed to get hardware video decode working in Chrome without any issues in F35, but after the upgrade to F36 the GPU process now crashes with an error.
I was using Wayland before when it worked, and saw the notice about sandbox permissions in Firefox, but this seems to be some other issue with the update of Mesa and/or libva.
Is there anything I can try besides waiting for an update to the GPU driver, library and/or Chrome? VAAPI decoding with MPV seems to work (for H.264 at least).
