Hardware video decode not working in Ubuntu 20.04

See original GitHub issue

Description

Brave won’t use GPU to decode videos, it keeps using the VPX decoder, i have an Intel UHD 620 with the va non free driver installed.

Steps to Reproduce

Install necessary drivers: sudo apt install intel-media-va-driver-non-free libva-drm2 libva-x11-2
Run Brave via terminal: brave-browser --use-gl=desktop --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder
Enable the following flags: Override software rendering list, GPU rasterization, zero-copy rasterizer, Out-of-process 2D canvas rasterization.
Open any YouTube video, open developer tools, click 3 dots >> More tools >> Media, check if Brave is using VDA decoder and hardware acceleration is true.

Actual result:

Brave uses the VPX decoder

Expected result:

Brave will use VDA decoder

Reproduces how often:

The steps are easily reproduced and must be reproduced every time you launch the browser.

DAWN Info

<Integrated GPU> Vulkan backend - Intel® UHD Graphics 620 (WHL GT2)

lazy_clear_resource_on_first_use: https://crbug.com/dawn/145: Clears resource to zero on first usage. This initializes the resource so that no dirty bits from recycled memory is present in the new resource.
use_temporary_buffer_in_texture_to_texture_copy: https://crbug.com/dawn/42: Split texture-to-texture copy into two copies: copy from source texture into a temporary buffer, and copy from the temporary buffer into the destination texture when copying between compressed textures that don’t have block-aligned sizes. This workaround is enabled by default on all Vulkan drivers to solve an issue in the Vulkan SPEC about the texture-to-texture copies with compressed formats. See #1005 (https://github.com/KhronosGroup/Vulkan-Docs/issues/1005) for more details.
vulkan_use_d32s8: https://crbug.com/dawn/286: Vulkan mandates support of either D32_FLOAT_S8 or D24_UNORM_S8. When available the backend will use D32S8 (toggle to on) but setting the toggle to off will make ituse the D24S8 format when possible.
disallow_unsafe_apis: http://crbug.com/1138528: Produces validation errors on API entry points or parameter combinations that aren’t considered secure yet.
disallow_spirv: https://crbug.com/1214923: Disallow usage of SPIR-V completely so that only WGSL is used for shader modules.This is useful to prevent a Chromium renderer process from successfully sendingSPIR-V code to be compiled in the GPU process.

Unfortunately, although “on paper” I do get hardware acceleration when I use flags mentioned above, I found out that on a lot of 4k videos playback will still lag and stutter.

After using Chromium based browsers (Chrome & Brave) for over a decade, decided to give Firefox a chance once again. Where if I enable following flags in about:config, 4k video content playback is as smooth as it gets (its VA-API support seems to be flawless).

media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled = true
media.ffmpeg.vaapi-drm-display.enabled = true
media.ffvpx.enabled = false

Currently Flags look like below for me: $ /usr/bin/brave-browser-stable --use-gl=desktop --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder,VaapiVideoEncoder --disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder,UseOzonePlatform

I can Confirm then work encode, decode and full hardware acceleration in general without vulkan(he must be disabled) flags
