Add a comment for Linux video decode acceleration.

BUG= 137247 

Review URL: https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/10821049

Why is this WontFix?

I think Ami opened this bug to keep track of progress. I'm guessing once there's someone actively working on it, it will be flipped to some open state.

My change above was just linking this bug to the part of the code where the disable-accelerated-video-decode flag is processed.

Maybe "Available is better".

I marked it WontFix intentionally, because nobody is working on implementing this now, and nobody's planning on doing so in the future.  When that changes, this bug can be reopened/assigned.

Hacks to make HW decode work on linux via libva.

This still requires telling gyp chromeos=1 but with this (and a couple
of upstream vdpau-driver hacks) both chrome &
video_decode_accelerator_unittest work well on my lucid laptop (NVIDIA
graphics libva wrapping vdpau-driver).

hello how can i test this ? 

i built chrome with ./build/gyp_chromium -Dchromeos=1
and start chrome with 
./chrome --ignore-gpu-blacklist --enable-vaapi  --enable-internal-flash --enable-bundled-ppapi-flash  --ppapi-flash-path=/opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=11.3.31.323

i cannot see any hardware decoding in osmf flash player 
http://osmf.org/dev/2.0gm/debug.html

chrome://gpu shows me video hardware decoding enabled

@10: Please try HTML5 video. Flash video acceleration is not supported currently.

ok do you have a sample htm5 video h264 ? does chrome dev  works with h264?
and how i can see if it is hw decoding with html5?  

It should be a must to have HW video decoding enabled when using VA-API on Linux

I'm restricting comments because this bug is for people to subscribe to if they want to be notified if/when support is added in the future, not a support forum for a non-existent / unsupported feature.

Do not compile third_party/libva on Linux. It's not used.

This is also helpful for Linux distros, by removing one bundled
library from their list.

Hi, I try to enable it in Linux by defalut: https://codereview.chromium.org/176883018/
In my opinion, there is not big reason to not enable it in Linux, because zmo@ already made GPU blacklist control accelerated video decode.
Could you have a chance to look at the CL?
