Update release description with proper flags #31

"To enable vaapi:

--disable-features=UseChromeOSDirectVideoDecoder for vaapi --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder in cli. (or enable-accelerated-video-decode) Disable HEVC vaapi playback requires CLI flag: --disable-features=PlatformHEVCDecoderSupport"

The first one isn't needed anylonger with newer versions, hardware acceleration works anyway without it. In fact in my system I need to remove it, otherwise hardware acceleration doesn't work. The second one, when using Linux, needs to be switched to the new one: --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecodeLinuxGL The third one isn't needed for hardware acceleration, you should mention it is just an option in case the system doesn't support HEVC. I don't use that flag and vaapi/hardware acceleration is enabled.

I'll finalise the flags when vaapi for AMD GPUs is fixed.

Someone created a patch for Mesa that makes VAAPI on AMD hardware to work. So it seems it was a Mesa issue with VAAPI, not a Chromium issue. Give it a try if you are on AMD.

I'm not interested in third party ad hoc fixes.

Google seems to have realised the folly of its way: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/chromium/src/+/4938496
