Description:
After upgrading chromium to 73.0.3683.75-1, youtube video won't play with MojoVideoDecoder (screenshot attached below).
My machine has an Intel HD Graphics 620. Neither libva-intel-driver nor intel-media-driver works.

Additional info:
* package version(s)

* config and/or log files etc.
See screenshot. No useful output through the terminal.

Steps to reproduce:
Use an Intel kabylake and newer machine.
Upgrade chromium from 72.0.3626.96-3 to 73.0.3683.75-1, youtube videos won't play.
Downgrade to 72.0.3626.96-3, plays fine.

Same problem facing here. Please look into this matter, I have the same Intel HD Graphics 620. And for Chromium 72 it works perfectly fine.

I too am unable to watch some Youtube videos. I'm on a i5-8350U with UHD Graphics 620. It too broke with the recent update, and other sites not using VP9 work fine.
