Hello openSUSErs,
I have noticed that since a couple of days ago I cannot watch some embedded videos in webpages (for example Reddit, Twitter, Linkedin). These will either not show or fail to start after first frame and flicker on-off. There have been quite a few updates to nvidia and codecs recently so it is not easy for me to track what may have caused this exactly. Firefox and Chromium both show the same behaviour. In Linkedin, for example, I also get this message “The media playback was aborted due to a corruption problem or because the media used features your browser did not support.” on both Firefox and Chromium. Youtube on the other hand works fine.
This is only a minor annoyance and not a problem for me, but perhaps someone else more knowledgeable than me has experienced this and has a hint on a solution?
Some relevant information below.
Thanks!
