Description Jacobo Aragunde Pérez 2017-02-14 04:17:36 PST 
I'm getting a crash when I open certain videos with Epiphany. In particular, I can reproduce it with the following twitter link: https://twitter.com/madtrick/status/831440822730162177

Sometimes it just crashes, but it often freezes my desktop and I have no other choice but restart the computer.

I had reported this through ABRT on Fedora before, these are the links:
* https://retrace.fedoraproject.org/faf/reports/1573423/
* https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1366897#c67

Using:
* Epiphany 3.20.6
* WebKit 2.14.3

Is this issue still happening for you?

If so please provide a log file:

Here with ephy 3.26.5 and wk2gtk 2.18.6 the video won't play at all.

With WebKit ToT, playback starts but the GL app context isn't requested.

Plays fine here in Ephy 3.36.1. Please reopen if the issue happens again :)
