Description:

It seems that certain videos don't refresh frames correctly on the video surface so it looks like a still image.

STR:

  1. Open youtube (e.g. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/sdxyPldHuJQ)
  2. Press play

AB:

Image isn't updating or you only have part of it updating with a delay compared of what should be visible.

EB:

Video should update frames correctly.

[Tracking Requested - why for this release]: video playback is broken.

The DF1 livestream (probably geo-restricted to Germany) is also affected.

I've asked sheriffs to back out bug 1898621.

Moving the mouse pointer in and out of the embedded video causes the video frame to update normally for about 0.5 seconds.
Video playback continues while the video frame is incorrectly updated.
