Hello
so I updated recently, and now I can't properly play videos. Starting a video makes it play normally for a minute or so, and then it suddenly stops..
At least that what happens in Firefox sometimes. In Chrome (and some other times in Firefox), just the video stops, the audio continues, then the video turns black and the whole video resets to where it stopped, and continues as if nothing has happened.
In VLC just the audio stops.
Also this does not happen with every video. I noticed it for Youtube and Netflix, as well as the Spotify Web Player.
I also noticed that if there are multiple videos running, these "hiccups" happen all at the same time when there are multiple videos playing, even across multiple applications.
I guess there's something going on with Hardware Acceleration, I'm using the i7-8750H.
Chrome (latest stable) also shows this in the console output when a hiccup occurs:
[20:25:0103/181813.363098:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: MEDIA_ERROR_LOG_ENTRY {"error":"audio render error"}
[20:20:0103/181813.363675:ERROR:render_media_log.cc(30)] MediaEvent: PIPELINE_ERROR AUDIO_RENDERER_ERROR
Edit:
So I guess this is actually related to pulseaudio, which failes to finish starting although actually working fine, and then being restarted by systemd (user mode) ever 1:30 minutes.
This is the journalctl (--user -x -u pulseaudio) output:
