For more than 2 years, I've an issue with periodical freezing of some YouTube videos (99% is Live events) in Firefox Browser. At the same time the same video playing in Chrome well.
Description
- Video: Freezes for 4-12 seconds, then runs for a few seconds and then again
- Audio: Is always playing well, without any interruptions
- OS: Windows 10 1607 (fully updated)
- Firefox: xxx - 102.0.1 (64 bit) (latest)
- CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2620 v3
- RAM: 16 GB DDR4
- VGA: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB (latest driver)
- Internet connection: 100 Mbps to ISP / ~20 Mbps to USA
Examples
All of these live videos are freezing.
What I found
- Firefox doesn't consume huge amount of CPU (~0,5%) and RAM (~250 MB) with about 20 tabs
- Firefox Network Monitor doesn't have any issues (drops, etc.)
- There is no problems with connection speed, buffer health and live latency (please look at the image above)
- All live videos use VP9 codec (vp09.00.51.08.01.01.01.01.00 (247) / mp4a.40.2 (140)) instead of AV1
What doesn't help:
- Youtube setting "AV1 settings" = "Always prefer AV1"
- Firefox setting "network.process.enabled" = "false"
- Change video resolution (even 480p and 360p)
- Disable Firefox plugings
- Disable/enable hardware acceleration in Firefox
- Firefox private window
- VPN
- Another DNS
- Disable HTTPS inspection by Antivirus (Kaspersky Free)
- Update VGA driver (430.39 → 472.12)
- Clear the cache (Cookies and Site Data)
I have send the report/feedback to YouTube with short description.
Do you have or had the same issue? Maybe you know how to fix this? I would be very appreciate for the help.
