kPaused to kSuspended for Video Playback

[qingxiang-jia]

Description

When playing YouTube videos (I believe the same goes for other sites based on this thread), after pausing the video for a few seconds, the video becomes black screen. Click "play" will make it back but it's extremely annoying when you want to pause and read the information on the video.

Chromium (87.0.4280.88) doesn't have this problem so it's likely Brave specific.

I checked the media-internals tab, when paused, its status is "kPaused", when it's back screen, it turns to "kSuspended".

Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to YouTube. Play any video.
2. Pause it, and wait for a while.

Actual result:

Black screen. See the GIF (it's about 30 seconds long).

Expected result:

Whatever video image it should be paused on.

Reproduces how often:

It happens all the time.

Other Additional Information:

Miscellaneous Information:

I am running Arch Linux.

[validatedev]

The browser is cannot usable with VAAPI with that state. Any updates? Using Fedora 34, Brave 1.22.71 with Chromium 89.0.4389.114.

I also notice the same issue with latest Vivaldi so it may not be a Brave-specific thing.

This is happenning for me too in Arch Linux.
