Firefox buffering but not playing videos.
Hello, I am using Firefox 100 on Arch Linux (5.17.6-arch1-1) with GNOME 42.1, and after recent updates i doesn't play any videos, it is buffering them, plays a frame and pauses.
1. I reinstalled firefox. 2. I cleaned cache && cookies. 3. I removed extensions.
Still need a help! :)

Try Firefox from Mozilla and see if you have the same issue. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/#product-desktop-release
You may also need to verify you have current ffmpeg and libav packages installed.
Thanks jonzn4SUSE, I tried Firefox from Mozilla, also checked for ffmpeg and libav, they are installed properly, still not working
Also I am getting this error while running from terminal`
`ERROR mp4parse] Found 2 nul bytes in "\u{0}\u{0}"`
I would recommend you get a live usb stick or spin up a VM with Tumbleweed and see what happens. https://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-KDE-Live-x86_64-Current.iso
Just curious, but are you on a laptop or desktop? WiFi or Lan?
I am on desktop and using LAN. Thanks for help, though i just found a related bug on Arch forums, so will check the issue with Arch packages too.
Just googling your error and found some interesting reading...

I would also mark your comment as resolved because this is not a browser issue.
