 Posted: Tue Jan 28, 2025 2:44 am Post subject: Browsers Stopped Playing Video |
 |
|
I did a major update some weeks ago, and since I last rebooted I've not been able to play any video on my browser (FF, Chrome both won't play).
I can play via mplayer just fine.
Ideas on how to debug this?
Thanks.

Unsure if you have the same problem but I had the same symptoms after a large system update: FF fails, mplayer works. I had been using suspend/resume and it kept on failing.
But then...
I rebooted.
Everything worked okay after rebooting.

Weird.
My PC had rebooted several times and it wasn't working. But now it does.

Scratch that. It stopped working again.
It seems it worked after a reboot, but then at some point later it stopped working.
Ideas?

I think I have a strange problem, my graphics subsystem is glitching and after glitching it stops working as well. Reboot fixes it.
Seeing this: [drm:uvd_v1_0_ib_test [radeon]] *ERROR* radeon: fence wait timed out.
I'm not sure it's a software problem or more likely my GPU is dying. I always have GPUs die on me...*sigh*.

| eccerr0r: with what kernel version(s) are you seeing that error? I remember seeing reports of that for some of the newer kernel series. |

I should have mentioned I'm also seeing the broken playback again after being able to use it for a while...and reboot restores operation.
Still using ancient 5.4.97 on this machine... Mesa 24.3.3. radeon-si
Thing is, it's random, which probably implies hardware. I haven't but should test my W2100s under same stress to see if it's any different, should be real similar to the R7-250 which I'm seeing it on.
