I'm experiencing the same thing with mpv; it eventually freezes after a
while (between 1 and 20 minutes, no obvious pattern) under 1.19.0-2, but
works fine under 1.18.4-2. Glad to hear that I'm not alone. :)
(While I only use Chrome occasionally, I did see it freeze today, which
I don't recall ever happening before. I guess this is indeed the same
bug.)
I'm attaching the output of the bug script, in case someone can spot any
similarity between our two setups. Otherwise, I guess I'll have to
muster up the courage to try to bisect this. (gulp!)
Here are some additional observations:
- While mpv inevitably freezes, mplayer and vlc seem to work fine.
There seems to be something application-specific to this.
Indeed I can confirm this happening with mpv. Though here it takes only a few seconds to freeze. Further investigating this seems to be related to opengl output:
- mplayer works fine here using default settings, but with "-vo gl" I encounter the same problem as with mpv.
- mpv itself works fine with "--vo xv".
- (VLC seems to work fine using any output module)
- Chrome does not freeze with "--disable-gpu"
