Description Arcadiy Ivanov 2019-04-14 22:15:13 UTC 
This is going to be a really crappy bug report and I apologize for that in advance. 

A client has a remote system which is Intel NUC8i5BEK with Coffee Lake running Fedora 29 (5.0.7-200.fc29.x86_64) Mesa 18.3.6 with chromium-vaapi 73.0.3683.103-1.fc29 (https://admin.rpmfusion.org/pkgdb/package/free/chromium-vaapi/):

I'm locally running a system with an exact same version of software (kernel, Mesa, chromium-vaapi), except locally it's Dell Precision 7510 with Skylake GT2.

*****
Coffee Lake fails to play VP9 videos in Chromium & YT entirely.
Skylake plays VP9 videos in Chromium & YT no problem.
*****

The issue seems to have popped up somewhere between kernel 5.0.4 and 5.0.6 and continues in 5.0.7.

Again, I apologize for vagueness and lack of detail.

This looks like a vaapi driver issue.
The vaapi driver is located on github : https://github.com/intel/intel-vaapi-driver
I would recommend filing an issue there. You can use this bugzilla for kernel or Mesa related issue.

Thanks!
