bomi and sound on youtube

Hi. In some videos opened in bomi from youtube no sound.
For example, in this video has no sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgfrGxCr2Fo
There sound is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Z_VUHhaoUE
In VLC sound is everywhere.
What could be the reason?

Re: bomi and sound on youtube

What could be the reason?

Hello!

Forum_Liker - I have two questions:
- What log output do you get when you play the non working youtube video using "bomi"?
- Does the non working youtube video work if you directly use mpv?

Regards
Martin

It is advised to follow the How to post guide when posting on the Arch forum. If one consciously jumps over these elementary steps like reading the wiki and providing necessary information about the problem, one can be regarded as a Help Vampire.

Re: bomi and sound on youtube

mpv works because it doesn't try to use hardware acceleration.  You have to deactivate it in bomi or install the proper packages to be able to use it in your system, which I recommend.

All installed

If disable hardware acceleration, the sound is also no

Re: bomi and sound on youtube

Try to play a video with mpv --hwdec auto and paste the output of  vdpauinfo here.

Re: bomi and sound on youtube

That's weird. Bomi is unsupported at the moment so maybe you should change to another player in the meantime.
What version have you installed? In the aur package comments there is a patch to the last version, I don't know if you have tried it yet.

Try using --log-level=debug with bomi, maybe we'll see something.

Re: bomi and sound on youtube

I'm out of ideas. Try to upgrade (read the comments in the aur package) first and if nothing changes, open an issue in its github page with that log.
