[Bug 1041794] New: Recent update breaks some Youtube videos
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1041794 Bug ID: 1041794 Summary: Recent update breaks some Youtube videos Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Distribution Version: Leap 42.2 Hardware: x86-64 OS: Linux Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other Assignee: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: james.knott@rogers.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- An update around mid May caused some Youtube videos to fail. When this happens, loading the video stops, leaving only the dot going around a circle showing. This happens with Firefox, Seamonkey and Chromium browsers. The videos that fail play OK in Windows. To verify the problem, I tried the videos with a VirtualBox VM or a fresh 42.2 install. The problem videos played. I then cloned the VM and ensured the videos played. I then updated the clone to the latest updates and now the videos fail. The original non-updated VM still continued to play the videos. It appears the problem is related to the type of codec used. For example, videos with the vp9 codec play, but those with avc1.4d400d now fail. Here are 2 links, this one plays OK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzqq581Q3Us But this one doesn't: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8tdmaEhMHE Again, this problem occurred recently. Videos that played a few weeks ago now fail. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Well but this smells more and more like a browser problem in that they fail to check the practical usability of cuvid decoder (and then falling back to another format).
It is indeed a browser problem, the cuvid decoder fails if it detects non nv hardware and the browser fails to fall back. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
