Hmm, unfortunately the log doesn't contain anything suspicious to my eyes. Could you check if playing the same file file with |
Did already test in smplayer since it will let me choose all kinds of things (and it uses mpv usually) but here is mpv direct: $ ## Required to put this in for Free License with Attribution:

... i.e. No issue.

Great, thanks for testing 🙂 |

Interesting... played this a few more times and heard sporadic crackles/choppyness in EDIT Chromium on the HOST seems exempt atm i.e. no issue. Rechecked all my connections as well... all are good. I put the SHA256 sums up for when video is downloaded. Locally played via EDIT Btw the beta GUEST needs to go away soon as I really need the storage space back. The release GUEST will still be around. Unfortunately one critical security component of 24.04 is broken atm so it won't be deployed directly until the distro fixes that or an alternative is found. |
