 Posted: Thu Jan 11, 2024 3:35 am Post subject: Help With Surf Browser Youtube Playback |
 |
|
I see from google I'm not the first to have these issues, but no solutions I've tried so far have fixed anything.When I try to play a youtube video on Surf the video will play the first few frames before freezing while audio continues to play smoothly along with the subtitles. Pausing the video or attempting to leave the page simply locks up the browser. I've had a couple other odd crashes, notably when posting to reddit, but I'll adress those after dealing with the elephant in the room. For reference I'm running on a laptop with an Intel i5-8250U and UHD Graphics 620. I'm fairly sure I I activated the appropriate driver modules but it's entirely possible I missed something. Surf is version 2.1-r3 and webkit-gtk is 2.42.3-r410. Hopefully I've just missed a use flag or package.
Here is my make.cobf:

It does look like it failed to load quite a few codecs, maybe av1 stuff? For what it's worth those errors were from navigating to youtube.com, as were all the odd ones about itunes. Most of the errors from the video page itself relate to audio curiously.. Not Sure what to do with that. Let me know if you need any further logs/command output, and thank you in advance! |

Do you have a custom alsa config? | Quote: | | Code: | 0:00:04.546650205 4680 0x564774116a20 WARN alsa conf.c:5569:parse_args: alsalib error: Parameter DEV must be an integer

... suggest there is some invalid value in the alsa config.
But it is an audio related problem, which you say works. Doesn't hurt to check. ;)
If you don't have alsa config, then you might have some version mismatch of alsalib and some other component.

No alsa config sadly. I'm using Pipewire for audio. my media-libs/alsa-lib is 1.2.10-r2, and media-video/pipewire is 1.0.0-r1. I tried disabling pipewire-alsa, but no changes there.
Trying a few more things, I was able to leave the page with the ctrl-g prompt and go to google. On doing so, I get a new interesting error:
| Code: |
0:00:54.083812580 15041 0x55d57bb7b1d0 WARN downloadbuffer gstdownloadbuffer.c:973:gst_download_buffer_close_temp_location_file:<downloadbuffer0> Failed to remove temporary file /var/tmp/WebKit-Media-7XUIH2: No such file or directory
|
Could this be a permission error in creating the stream buffer or something? That would be surprisingly consistent with what I'm seeing. |

Do other webkit-gtk browsers work?

This actually just occurred to me earlier. I’m emerging epiphany now. I’ll get back to you this evening. |

| So epiphany didn’t work at all. Just got an endless stream of errors that it couldn’t connect to a gst server and it wouldn’t load anything. I was afraid it might have issues considering I’m running my system with the “-gnome” flag. I tried luakit after that and it demonstrates identical behavior to surf. |

For what is worth, I tried some months ago luakit and the performance was atrocious, not only on YT, but other sites as well. The RAM consumption was very high in general, and the playback on multimedia was very poor. My guess is that webkit+gstreamer are not a very performant combination.

| Got it working! Looks like I needed the vpx flag on gst-plugins-meta. I think. I enabled it globally and now playback seems to be working. Webkit performance is still kinda crap, but oh well. |

| Have you considered trying the vpx flag on gst-plugins-meta globally to see if it improves playback performance, especially since enabling it seems to have resolved the playback issue? |
