Bug description:
  The chromium team has done a great job to totally disable hardware
  decoding on Linux.

  Even ignoring the GPU blacklist does not enable GPU decoding.

  How ever the patch is quite simple and it's already working using this
  PPA ( using libVA ) :

  https://launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/+archive/ubuntu/chromium-dev

  the corresponding patch is here :

  http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~saiarcot895/chromium-browser/chromium-
  browser.trusty.beta/view/head:/debian/patches/enable_vaapi_on_linux.diff

  that would be great if we could have this patch indefault Ubuntu
  chromium build, this situation is really sad right now, google use
  linux to make chromeOS so chromebook are really good at playing videos
  but GNU/Linux chromium is slow at doing it.
