BUG | Fullscreen video on Youtube freezes

npro

So to come to a conclusion, this bug happens with nvidia drivers 565.77 in a Wayland session and using chrome://flags/#ozone-platform-hint=wayland. Chromium is not affected. I think it should be reported.

Reported.

Hi, 4 tester could not reproduce this.
I added a comment about the Nvidia card and the driver.

Cheers, mib

I believe reinstallation of browser, or OS would fix it, but that is not solution.

Where? In bugreport? I wrote it already there.

@enc0re
I thought it wouldn't hurt to mention it again, a tag Linux_Only was added.
Some testers where on Windows.

enc0re

Yeah, no problem. Issue happens only on Linux.

Bug "(VB-113961) Video playback freeze after going fullscreen on Linux" was closed as 'cannot reproduce'.

What can be done further with it? Because I can reproduce it every time when doing fresh install of Fedora.

@enc0re
Hi, I am sorry but if no developers or testers can reproduce it what should they to fix it, one with Nvidia GPU.
We have some Fedora users here but nobody report it in the forum.
Users report issues with Wayland and Vivaldi for a long time, first I would try to check on X server.

@mib2berlin Maybe to provide some logs/traces from me of what is happening in the UI. I believe this can be useful for debuging even if they can't repro the issue.

@enc0re
You can add such information in reply of the conformation mail and/or post here, maybe there are some useful info users can check.

I can confirm the bug with the latest stable 7.2.3621.67 and Nvidia, proprietary drivers 570.133.07 in a Wayland session with vivaldi-stable --ozone-platform-hint=wayland --user-data-dir=/tmp/vivteststable/ playing the video https://test-videos.co.uk/vids/bigbuckbunny/mp4/h264/1080/Big_Buck_Bunny_1080_10s_30MB.mp4 . The only way to return from the frozen fullscreen is by pressing Alt (or Alt+Tab too I guess).

No way they can not reproduce this. Reopen it and list all the details again.

@npro @enc0re I reopened the bug and set to Confirmed.

Did you do that? I recorded a UI rendering trace from chrome://tracing here (valid for 1 day) https://www.filemail.com/d/plybinnhrxabuva . The video plays for ~5 seconds locally (file:///), then I go fullscreen, wait for some seconds, then I return with Alt. @DoctorG you may include it in the bug report, or if something else is additionally needed do tell.

DoctorG

@npro Thanks for trace.

I downloaded the file and uploaded to internal bug tracker entry.

@npro
Hi, I like to help users but this is not my bug, I add sometimes information to reports but if a developer ask I have to ask you and you have to ask the OP, this doesn't work really well in most cases.
Good we have @DoctorG here.

npro

@mib2berlin It's ok you were only asked in OP's quote if you would need a trace, so I did that for the OP, nobody said it is your bug

enc0re

@npro No, I didn't. I don't know how to do that Hopefully your trace will help and we will not wait for fix until another stable release.

enc0re

Observation.

Fullscreen freezes on monitor which is plugged via HDMI. If I move window with playing video to monitor plugged via DisplayPort and go to fullscreen, then it won't freeze. If I move it back to HDMI monitor, it freezes again.

DoctorG

I updated VB-113961 for 7.4 Snapshot.

@enc0re In my case it was with a VGA connector.
