[SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

I have recently tried to play youtube on my browser, however whenever I tried to play a video, it would play for 1 second, and then stop playing. However, the sound would go a little bit further, before stopping too. After several minutes, the video would advance 1 second again and the audio went along a bit too. This pattern kept happening, and I'd like to solve it. It also seems like it breaks other videos of the browser, so if any of you could help me, I'd be thankful! :) 

I've tried the following:

Running youtube videos on librewolf, google chrome, chromium, firefox and brave and got no result. (didn't work)
Running the browser on safe mode(didn't work)
Played a youtube video throughout mpv and its youtube URL (worked but browser videos are still broken)
Thought it could be NVIDIA cards issue, so tried to troubleshooting it by running glxgears. (worked just fine)
Installed pipewire-pulse (didn't fix the video problem on the browser)
Played spotify, the soundtrack (worked just fine, however, when it came to the ads with videos, it stopped working and would go into a cycle of retrying to play again)

Checked for any pulseaudio library which could be overlapping pipewire-pulse, so , when running
$ pacman -Sqs | grep pulse
It returned the dependencies associated 

libpulse
pipewire-pulse
projectm-pulseaudio
pulse-native-provider
pulseaudio
pulseaudio-alsa
pulseaudio-bluetooth
pulseaudio-equalizer
pulseaudio-equalizer-ladspa
pulseaudio-jack
pulseaudio-lirc
pulseaudio-qt
pulseaudio-rtp
pulseaudio-zeroconf
pulsemixer
pulseview
xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin

However, when I tried to remove the libraries with the string pulseaudio by running
$ sudo pacman -Rns pulseaudio
It returned 

 error: target not found: pulseaudio

I tried to check for wireplumber status, so by running:
$ systemctl --user status wireplumber
It returned

I tried to check for v4l2 and IPA specific configs, but no return (tried to reinstall pipewire-v4l2 specific lib), so probably the issue lies here.

Checked for journalctl logs and it returned nothing.

It's nice to say that I've configured OPTIMUS to integrate both NVIDIA discrete card and Intel integrated card. Not really sure if it'd influence in videos running on the browser.

Re: [SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

Set the video quality to 360p.

Recently Alphabet stopped serving combined streams (video+audio) for anything other than 360p and their CDN seems to be choking while serving DASH content.

Alternatively make sure you watch advertisements in full. However, I don’t know whether this has an actual effect or just a coincidence from lowering bandwidth requirements for the main video.

Sometimes I seem a bit harsh — don’t get offended too easily!

Re: [SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

Setting the video on the browser to 360p didn't do the trick. I tried to with even lower quality, and no results regarding youtube browser, even with different browsers, still got the same pattern stated into the post.

Re: [SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

Played a youtube video throughout mpv and its youtube URL (worked but browser videos are still broken)

What exactly does that mean? 

mpv 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2AC41dglnM'

plays just fine? "but playing the same url in the browser isn't"?

Played spotify, the soundtrack (worked just fine, however, when it came to the ads with videos, it stopped working and would go into a cycle of retrying to play again)

Re: [SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

For some reason, all my /etc/pipewire ,  /etc/pipewire-pulse and /etc/jack directories were empty. So I accessed  /usr/share/pipewire and its config files, and copied them to the correct directories in the etc folder (following the instructions inside the document). After rebooting again, pipewire, pipewire-pulse and wireplumber aren't working anymore, and now, the audio's broken but the video is fine working on  the browser.

Also, for some reason, KMIX (KDE Plasma's mix controllerI use)  took over control, so I set a pulse rule, that perhaps would solve the problem, by following this https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … ource-busy

So, I created the archive /etc/udev/rules.d/89-pulseaudio.rules and inserted the content 

 
DRIVERS=="bcm2835_audio", ENV{PULSE_IGNORE}="1"

These are the logs:

plays just fine? "but playing the same url in the browser isn't"?

Yes. It means that it used to work on mpv  and not on the browser, but now both are broken.

TLDR: Fixed the video problem, however, it's the audio now that isn't working.

Re: [SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

Undo the /etc move and remove ~/.config/wireplumber/
You're btw. not running on the nvidia card (but that's fine and you shouldn't)

I assume you've seen https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Hardwa … plications (though at 144p, your CPU should be more than capable to decode even VP9)

Re: [SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

I moved the /etc files and they brought the system back to the same state of the first post. Turns out that my ~/.config/wireplumber file was already gone, but I don't remember removing it. I tried to dig into Hardware video acceleration, however, I had already done the configuration for both NVIDIA and Intel drivers, but it seemed that I had forgotten to add the environment variables. After I added them, my /etc/environment file looked like this:

__NV_PRIME_RENDER_OFFLOAD=1 __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia %command%
DRI_PRIME=pci-0000_01_00_0 __VK_LAYER_NV_optimus=NVIDIA_only __GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia glxinfo | grep 'OpenGL renderer string'
GBM_BACKEND=nvidia-drm
__GLX_VENDOR_LIBRARY_NAME=nvidia
LIBVA_DRIVER_NAME=iHD
VDPAU_DRIVER=nvidia

After running $ mkinitcpio -P (to restart with the given environment variables), I got the following:

I verified the Hardware video acceleration for firefox, and by reading the wiki, I thought it was already on the proper mode.

So I went to test again the youtube videos, and they were still broken. But I thought about testing what kind of data was being processed by my Intel GPU.

Here's the screenshot: https://postimg.cc/SjZfVTzS

The video section wasn't being processed, but the 3d render was. After all those configurations, the video still isn't working, which is weird, since I've tried to launch firefox from its backend in a Wayland compositor (Hyprland) and got the same results. (Btw, mpv still works just fine)

Re: [SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

I (and a few others around here) had a problem like this after the wireplumber 0.4.17-1 -> 0.5.0-1 update in late March this year. It was fixed by `rm -rf ~/.local/state/wireplumber`.

Re: [SOLVED] Youtube videos aren't working on any browser

Running the command rm -rf ~/local/state/wireplumber fixed my problem.

Thank you bulletmark , seth and mpan for taking some of your time to help me.

I'll be editing the name of this forum, and put it as solved.
