Chromium on Amd Ryzen does not play videos anymore

[aario]

Hi Folks,
Chromium on open mandriva ROME cannot play videos anymore.
Here is my cpu/gpu:

AMD Ryzen 7 4700U with Radeon Graphics

Here is the output on the command line when playback fails:

[7455:7:0325/114107.466044:ERROR:command_buffer_proxy_impl.cc(125)] ContextResult::kTransientFailure: Failed to send GpuControl.Creat

I tried instlaling amdvlk-vulkan-driver and reboot. Didn’t help.
I stopped using firefox due to you know what.
I don’t want to use closed source browsers. Nowadays 90% of my computing work is done via the browser and if that is closed source, there is no reason left for me not to go back to using microsoft windows!
Any idea is highly appreciated.

PS: --disable-gpu makes it work. But of course, no gpu acceleration.

I can’t reproduce it here on a Ryzen 9 5950X with a Radeon 550X.
Does this happen with every video, or just a specific codec etc.?
Does enabling Vulkan in chrome://flags change anything?

[aario]

Installing amdvlk-vulkan-driver and enabling vuklan flag in chrome://flags did the job.

Notice:

Some of us have been testing this workaround for a few days, but it was only to improve performance. It turns out that it does more than that. It also looks to be any chromium based browser.

Using Vulkan graphics backend for Brave significantly improves performance

Just wanted to post this info here for other users in case it’s useful. Changing the graphics backend for Brave significantly improves performance (snappiness, frame rates, etc.). This was new to me as I haven’t had to do this on other distributions, but when I switched to OM and started using Brave I noticed that it wasn’t performing like it normally did. This can be accomplished by doing the following: Enter brave flags by entering brave://flags. Search for “vulkan”. Change the value to Ena…
