            Bug ID: 255561
           Summary: www/chromium: Video playback error (Chromium-only,
                    other browsers unaffected)
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: amd64
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

OS: FreeBSD 13.0-RELEASE
DE: KDE Plasma 5.21.4
Graphics: drm-fbsd13-kmod v5.4.92.g20210419
Driver: modesetting
Chromium version: 90.0.4430.93

Way too many streaming videos suddenly fail in the middle of being played. Some
of them display the text "Video error" on top of the video, some just stop
playing, and others just restart playing from the very beginning.

Some points to take into account:
-Youtube videos seem immune to this problem.
-It doesn't seem to matter the WM or DE in use (tested on KDE, Openbox and
Cinnamon).
-It happens with modesetting driver as well as intel.
-Using mesa-devel instead of regular mesa port makes no difference.
-Enabling/disabling hardware acceleration makes no difference either.
-The same videos play without issues in Firefox, Falkon, VLC and mpv.
-They play completely fine in Chromium on Linux too (Manjaro, for instance).
-They play great in Chromium-based browsers run through Linuxulator (tried
Brave and Google Chrome).

*Note: This has been happening since a very long time (at least pre Chromium
v80) and in older versions of FreeBSD too.
