web videos don't play in any browser, debian
I'm so stumped by this problem I'm having. When I boot up my computer (thinkpad T470p, running Debian 4.19.12-1) everything is fine, but after some time, youtube videos stop playing and give a "if playback doesn't begin shortly, restart your device" message, and certain other web videos (e.g. https://i.imgur.com/bZ2Uy4W.gifv ) won't play either; instead it shows exactly two frames and then freezes. In facebook videos, part of the video will load, and if I click to a later part of the video it will continue loading a bit more, and will show the corresponding freeze frame, but it will never play. This is true in all browsers - firefox, chrome, and torbrowser - with or without any addons or in safe mode. So it must be something system-wide, but I have no idea how to debug that or what to search for. I don't see anything in dmesg but don't know where else to look. I have no problems playing non-web videos. Any advice?

4.19.12-1is the kernel image forDebian Busterwhich is an upstream release and not supported at the moment. The only thing that you can do is file a bug report for it so that it might be fixed when it's supported.
