Latest update disabled the video display on chrome related browsers - FunkAndCode - 03-21-2024
Hi everyone,
I'm just reporting that the last update introduced a little :banghead bug :60:
I no longer have the video display on Youtube, Dailymotion etc with Brave browser, same with Google chrome.
But it still works fine on Firefox. I saw a similar topic but it's not related to tweaks for me (since I didn't use it)
Audio still works fine, images too it's only the video display that is fully white.
I hope it will be fixed soon, anyway have a good day all :wave

There have been updates to both Linux kernel and Chrome on 18th/19th which doesn't help establish what is happening, but a recently updated Chrome installation (Version 123.0.6312.58 (official Build) (64-bit)) without any additional extensions on LL6.6 is playing Youtube video as expected for me.
Can you confirm

Re: Latest update disabled the video display on chrome related browsers - stevef - 03-21-2024
Thank you.
One suggestion would have been to get the system to boot the previous kernel (if available) to see if the older kernel worked with new chrome.
But I can't see 5.15.0.100 listed. Do you routinely remove old kernels ?
Do you have any recent restore points made with System Restore Utility (aka timeshift) for rollback testing ?
Re: Latest update disabled the video display on chrome related browsers - FunkAndCode - 03-21-2024
Hmmm I didn't make a restore point. :022: I reinstalled ll6.6 from scratch maybe 3-4 days ago because I did deletie files I shouldn't have lol. I guess I'll have to wait the next update it might get fixed later
Re: Latest update disabled the video display on chrome related browsers - Daveyboy - 03-21-2024
Having experienced the same issues as yourself, I think I have now found the solution.
After googling the white screen issue I cam across this link and followed it's instructions to turn off Hardware Acceleration within Chrome and having done so this seems to have fixed my problem
https://www.partitionwizard.com/partitionmagic/white-screen.html
However, after hastily marking my issue as solved yesterday, only for it to reappear - I will wait 24 hours before re-marking it as "SOLVED" this time.
I hope this also works for you
Re: Latest update disabled the video display on chrome related browsers - FunkAndCode - 03-21-2024
Thanks, I too saw this solution on brave support forum but it didn't work for me :dft004:
That's what I was going to say because it really didn't fix it earlier, but now it works :dft002:
I won't try to understand this time and just gonna enjoy the result
Magic that's all that comes to my mind right now
