[SOLVED] Web browsers cant' reproduce video (hardware acceleration)

AlexBeer · 2023-09-04 15:07:13

Hi,
I finally had firefox(also tested chrome) play videos (youtube, twitch, etc) following: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … celeration
System info:

 inxi -G
Graphics:
  Device-1: NVIDIA GA106 [Geforce RTX 3050] driver: nvidia v: 535.104.05
  Display: wayland server: X.org v: 1.21.1.8 with: Xwayland v: 23.2.0
    compositor: sway v: 1.8.1 driver: X: loaded: nvidia
    unloaded: modesetting,nouveau gpu: nvidia,nvidia-nvswitch
    resolution: 3840x2160~60Hz
  API: OpenGL v: 4.6.0 NVIDIA 535.104.05 renderer: NVIDIA GeForce RTX
    3050/PCIe/SSE2

and

vdpauinfo
display: :0   screen: 0
Error creating VDPAU device: 1

Videos(youtube) was reproduced correctly with hardware acceleration enabled and webgl disabled until system sleep (maybe: didn't tried if after system reboot the videos on firefox work correctly again until sleep) then I'm getting only static image with turning wheel, unless I mute video but muted video seems to play well.
(Incidentally I noted once that videos begun to play correctly during "pacman -Syu", until next sleep.)

Any helps?

Best Regards

Sounds like an issue w/ the sound server (pulseaudio/pipewire)

Incidentally I noted once that videos begun to play correctly during "pacman -Syu", until next sleep.

Might have been the udev reset.

maybe: didn't tried if after system reboot the videos on firefox work correctly again until sleep

So it's not clear whether this is related to the system sleep???

The information in your port is somewhat contradictive.
Did you try to simply restart
1. the browser
2. sway
3. the system

Maybe the problem of pulseaudio.https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/PulseA … do_no_playI tried this and solved the problem on my machine.

Output of

sudo fuser -v /dev/snd/*

during issue reproduction.

Just rebooted: after reboot video works, then after sleep comes the problem.
