[SOLVED] Video glitch when watching YouTube

I noticed that some of Videos on YouTube have broken texture on my laptop.
These glitches can be captured by screenshot or OBS. But when I download those videos, and play them with VLC, it seem to be OK.

The followings are videos captured by OBS when playing on YouTube and VLC.
Play on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EHuPx3e13Q
Play on VLC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFtC9UUqk-8

Both Firefox and Chromium have this problem.

Kernel: 5.13.8-arch1-1
intel graphics: mesa 21.1.6-1
nvidia driver (but I usually use intel): 470.57.02-8
DE: Plasma 5.22.4

Thx
P.S. English is not my mother tongue

--Edit--
The video I downloaded had been encoded by AVC1, the problem seems to be something about AV01

Re: [SOLVED] Video glitch when watching YouTube

Are you using HW acceleration (vaapi or vdpau) in VLC?

If you have xf86-video-intel installed then try removing it and configurations referencing the intel driver.

My VLC HW acceleration set to auto, but I didn't install VAAPI or VDAPI, I think I don't use both of them.
I don't have xf86-video-intel installed and I think I don't have any configurations about intel driver.

I found only videos encoded by AV01 have these problem, and VLC has this problem,too.
The video I downloaded and metioned above was encoded by AVC1, but I redownloaded it by selecting AV01 codec, the problem appeared.

OK, I think it's youtube's problem, something was wrong when youtube encoding, I had tried my Windows PC and Android phone, both of them have this problem, I would use addon to avoid youtube using av1 or vp9 encoding.
