Perhaps DevTools have something interesting in console.

Same here, using version 120.0.6099.224 on Linux.

I am getting 403 erros on /videoplayback?...

Server is not happy with you for some reason.

[sebastianha]

I know, but I do not know why. Works fine with firefox, but even with a fresh/empty ungoogled-chromium it does not work.

[PF4Public]

@nrcone0 @sebastianha Try latest available version.

[sebastianha]

I have to wait until it pops up in my repo, but should be in a few days. I will test as soon as it's available.

I can confirm the problem on opensuse Tumbleweed, when trying to watch videos on youtube. Firefox works fine though. Console Log:

[sebastianha]

Perhaps status update from my side: no new ungoogle chrome available for Tumbleweed, still on chrome 120.0.6099.224

[PF4Public]

Please try starting chromium with --user-data-dir=/tmp/something

[sebastianha]

I already tried this by deleting the config-dir. Same behaviour.

[PF4Public]

Look into the Media tab, perhaps there is something unusual:

[ChrTall]

You are right Decoder and Encoder are missing on my system. Even though it worked before and I did not remove anything. OS: openSuse Tumbleweed. codecs installed with: opi codecs Firefox should also use shared system libraries and works.

[PF4Public]

Try starting it with --disable-features=FFmpegAllowLists

[sebastianha]

YES! Works for me!

I assume @Michal-Szczepaniak maintains the build for openSuse. @Michal-Szczepaniak please have a look at this issue. It may be triggered by using system-provided ffmpeg library.

[Michal-Szczepaniak]

Ye currently updates for opensuse are kinda halted until other maintainers update chromium as i basically just use the chromium build files and apply ungoogled patches.

Same issue exists in un-ungoogled chromium currently on opensuse

[ChrTall]

Workaround --disable-features=FFmpegAllowLists also works for me. Chromium 121 should fix the issue and was released on Factory. ungoogled-chromium 121 will probably also fix the issue.

[Michal-Szczepaniak]

chromium and ungoogled-chromium were just updated to 122 so that should fix all the issues

[cnleo]

Same here with Manjaro. Solution for Manjaro: Install manjaro-pipewire or reinstall them.

Maybe it is not necessary to install the optional jack(1) stuff, since jack2 is already there.

The magic will happen immediately (video was still in background) and without reboot.
