[arch-general] Problems with movie playback (HTML5)
Hi, After recent update I have problems in HTML5 movie playback. In Chromium, films on YouTube are buffered but don't want to start at all. Pressing play/pause has no effect. I can manually move playback to different time but this only causes new frame to show without playback. In firefox I can play video, switch on another one but I cannot reload page - firefox freezes completely. System updated with pacman 16.11.2015. Anyone seeing similar things? Regards, Łukasz

Exactly the same thing here before the daily update this morning. Now I updated everything again including chromium-pepper-flash-dev from aur, rebooted and now things seem to work fine, both in chromium and in firefox. Cheers, domanov

I had this too, and a reboot fixed it. No flash installed. -- benoliver999.com

Yes, I saw this with mpv on the command line under X. A restart of the WM and X did not solve the problem for me. As with the others I had to reboot my machine. Would be really nice to know what's the root cause. Cheers Matthias

systemctl --user restart pulseaudio -- damjan

Restarting pulseaudio solved this problem. Thanks! Łukasz

I also had this problem, even though I don't have pulseaudio installed. For me simply restarting the browser was enough, though. So pulseaudio must not be the root cause, even if it's involved. João Miguel,
