The VPU part could be because of missing firmware. Check if the vpu files are present in /lib/firmware.

As for MP4, this is a known problem. You are building Chromium, not Chrome. MP4 support is part of the restricted feature set, which is included in Chrome but not Chromium. Try a WebM file for example.

this apparently can be worked around with gyp options:

"proprietary_codecs=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome branding=Chrome to allow Chrome to play h.264 content, which is the only codec VAVDA knows about today."

this is described on a wiki page setting up hw video decode on **intel** processors:

https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxHWVideoDecode

note: i haven't actually tried this! (but i would like to)

We tried that back then. The Chrome branding enabled a million other things , which caused all sorts of difficulties. Also note that enabling the Chrome branding might have legal repercussions.

A comment on that page says to use these flags (Chrome branding is not needed, only chromeos=1):

export GYP_DEFINES="chromeos=1 proprietary_codecs=1 ffmpeg_branding=Chrome"

do_configure succeeds but do_compile fails with "brlapi.h" missing. A google search
gave me this: https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/chromium-dev/StpTzFnf8ok
Supposedly, running "build/install-build-deps.sh" fixes it but it turned out it only fixes
things for building Chromium for the host and the script wants an Ubuntu host OS.

Is there a ready to use recipe for brlapi/brltty somewhere or should I make one?

Thanks in advance,
