A few months ago, I already installed the codecs with the help of Opi, but I tried again, and it didn’t help.
All other video providers play videos. I mean e.g. Facebook, Finnish newspapers, Whatsapp, etc. It seems to me that the problem is only in Chromium?
I uninstalled the Flatpak version from Chomium because the password manager didn’t work on it.
I reinstalled Chromium with zypper and removed the ad blocker. It didn’t help, the videos still don’t play.
That’s really strange. I just did a Password Export from Brave browser to a CSV file.
Then I fired up Chromium (Flatpak) and did a Password Import, selected the CSV file and then (348 passwords inported) … here I am, logged in and participating in the forum with Chromium
I use KeePassXC Password Manager, which is common to all browsers. It works fine in other browsers but not in Chromium. I tested KeePassXC Password Manager in Vivaldi and it was OK.
It would be nice to have some debugging enabled to see what is happening on my computer…?
You need to use proper browser settings. Simply check “Use system title bar and borders” in Settings-> Appearance in Chromium and the white lines are gone…
I am confused with this problem again.
Chromium works perfectly with these versions:

Source package : chromium-120.0.6099.224-1.1.src
Upstream URL : https://www.chromium.org/
Summary : Google's open source browser project
I don’t understand what’s wrong here.
If I remove Adblock, Chromium still won’t play videos (latest version 120.0.6099.224-1.1 ) Chromium is not slow, it just won’t play youtube video at all. but KeepassXC works fine.
If I install Chromium from Flatpak, it plays youtube videos, but KeepassXC doesn’t work.
Probably a defect has been introduced… check the recent updates for Chromium against the update when you experienced the issue - I just show an example below of recent updates - you should look at the details on your system

ALL browsers opt-out of using System titlebars and borders, based on Chrome.
I use Chrome, Brave, and occasionally Opera, which are all descendents of Chrome … and NONE of those draw that silly border.
And Firefox opts out of that mode, and is not based on Chrome, and doesn’t draw that border.
And NONE of those browsers are in that “system border” mode, on any of my machines.
The Flatpak Chromium version doesn’t show that border … I suspect it’s a bug that was introduced recently, which has also affected the video playback - this also happened months ago.
I started Chromium in the console and then Vivaldi in the console as well. Then I compared the prints. The only difference is the log below.
raija@localhost:~> grep logger chr.txt

Please use the `--enable-chrome-browser-cloud-management` command line flag to enable it if you are not using the official Google Chrome build.

I have a small suspicion that they should both work together… though I assume there’s probably an argument that should be provided from Keepass to Flatpak (or vice-versa)
