Video buffers on seeking when AmbiLight is on

[harsharora08]

Bug description

Video buffers for a while when I press forward or backward button, or when I press J and L.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Open any video
2. Press forward
3. Video takes a little buffering (My internet is very stable)
4. Turn off ambilight
5. Press forward
6. Video forwards instantly
7. Turn on ambilight and press forward
8. Forwards instantly with ambilight on too

I mean yes this is my workaround for now but it happens on every video which makes it tiresome to repeat the process. If you want I can attach a screen recording replicating the issue if this does not happen with you.

I'm unable reproduce this. Could you attach a screenrecording and tell me which CPU and GPU you have?

Does disabling "Hardware-accelerated video decode" help? You can disable it in this url: chrome://flags/#disable-accelerated-video-decode

I am sorry but even I am not able to reproduce the issue. It was happening last night a lot. It can be because background processes I guess. Next time if it happens, I will first screen record then open an issue.

Thank you and apologies for the inconvenience.

Haha, no worries
