#952254 — Bug#926032: [chromium] Buggy / Solarized videos

Package: chromium
Version: 73.0.3683.75-1
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

A lot of streaming videos are rendered incorrectly and truly
unwatchable. Sound is not affected, however. Youtube videos look good
but not those streamed from other popular web sites like these ones :

https://www.imdb.com (try any movie trailer, e.g.)
https://www.francetvinfo.fr/en-direct/tv.html (any embedded video)

Downgrading to a previous version like 72.x either from stable
ou from testing immedialely solves the problem.

#952630

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Turning off Hardware-accelerated video decode from chrome://flags makes the
video render normally again.

Cheers,
Ed.

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hello,

This workaround works well, thank you, Ed.

However it is a short term solution. Why would we have to disable a feature like hardware acceleration and revert to a sluggish (and cpu hungry) software rendering in order to (barely) make things work like they did before in previous releases ?

Regards,
VB

The vaapi patch is work in progress.  It could be unapplied, but then
hardware acceleration would be completely unavailable, which is
equivalent to the workaround but of course takes away from those that
have hardware that works.

Best wishes,
Mike

#956063

Hello,

Unfortunately the new release 74.0.3729.108-1 does not fix anything regarding this issue. As soon as I disabled the workaround we discussed earlier in order to use hardware decoding again, solarized videos came back on many web sites.

Regards

V.B.
