Several YouTube videos are not rendered properly for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbBiA0ldnqU. The videos are rendered with a solid background color (green, magenta...) and some distorted text belonging to the YouTube webpage. Audio plays nicely though

I found bug 201422 which was fixed in the past, perhaps it's a similar issue.

Also there is bug 173796. I mention it because I've seen issues playing videos in WebKitGtk when libav is being used.

BTW I'm using Debian's 2.34.6.

I suspect this is another gst-vaapi-related issue...

Uninstalling it makes the video work properly indeed...

I confirm this bug

Arch Linux Epiphany 42.2 WebKit 2.36.1 on Wayland (EGL).

Intel® HD Graphics 620 (KBL GT2).

Please fix it. It is very frustrating. Thank you.

This is not a WebKit bug. For the time being, uninstall gstreamer-vaapi. There is a new gst va plugin in development, if you want to try it:

1. `gst-inspect-1.0 va` should display the plugin informations. If it's not the case, find the packages for your distro, this plugin is in gst-plugins-bad currently.

2. Set this env var: GST_PLUGIN_FEATURE_RANK=vah264dec:MAX before running epiphany.
