Cannot play YouTube videos at all since update

I am using Firefox 123.0.1 and Chrome 122.0.6261.128 on openSUSE Tumbleweed. Ever since I last ran zypper dup, I have been unable to play YouTube videos in either browser. Firefox crashes, and on Chrome the video just loads endlessly.

I am on KDE Plasma 5.27.10 running Wayland, kernel version 6.7.7-1-default.

Welcome to the forums @Nikifuj908 :slight_smile:

  1. Did the last dup finish without errors: sudo grep -i error /var/log/zypp/history
  2. Are there any coredumps from crashed processes: sudo coredumpctl
  3. Are there any priority 3 journal errors: sudo journalctl -p3 -b

Please provide the output of the aforementioned commands.

Login to your user acct, but choose “X11 with KDE Plasma” (vs Wayland).

Do videos work now, using X11 ??

Sorry, I rolled back the update using Snapper, so I no longer have the issue. It looks like the Zypper logs were erased from that update. Here’s some of what I found in journalctl from before I rolled back:

tlp[13581]: Error: TLP's power saving will not apply on boot because tlp.service is not enabled --> Invoke 'systemctl enable tlp.service' to ensure the full functionality of TLP.

A lot of these errors were repeated.

And from coredumpctl:

Ah, these were quite serious userspace issues. Browser, display server, and window manager all crashed.

Hopefully the rollback and a new dup run interactively would prevent future issues.:crossed_fingers:

You should do a search in YAST for ffmpeg and post a screenshot to compare.
Is packman repo installed?
I always use this site on new installs. https://www.opensuse-community.org/

NEVER use 1-Click installations! The forum is full of people which broke their systems with 1-Click installations and can’t upgrade anymore without errors!

If you want to use packman, follow these guide:
https://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Installing_codecs_from_Packman_repositories

If you want to use Nvidia, follow these guides:
