Description:
1. Open an HTML5 video, like for instance a youtube video with HTML5 enabled.
2. When the video reaches it final second the screen stops at the last video frame, the controls still show pause and that screen with the replay button and video suggestions does not appear.
3. Also at this point is not possible to just seek back and play. It seeks to the correct frame but does not play the video. You have to refresh the page and sometimes even that won't work at which point the only solution is to close chromium and re-open.

Additional info:
* chromium 17.0.963.56 (but problems started with 16)
* nvidia 295.20

I have tested the same chrome version in the same machine on Windows 7 and no problems. Also with Ubuntu 11.10 it works fine.
This task depends upon

chromium-browser-bin from aur works fine.

I cannot reproduce this. Running chromium 17.0.963.56-1 on x86_64 with intel gpu.

I don't know what combination of software/hardware is needed to trigger this problem. I have a nvidia 7300go and tried both nvidia 295.20 and nouveau and the problem persists. However when using chromium-browser-bin (the one that depends on gconf, etc) it works correctly.

for my case, after playing for the whole video, the replay and seek functionality are completely broken. i have to restart chromium to play html5(actually chromium has a built-in ffmpeg decoder) video again.

It happens here too, I'm using kde, gstreamer backend (tried the vlc one, nothing changed, problem still happens), ati opensource drivers, chromium 18.0.1025.142.
Also, the problem happens while using Minitube (couldn't get it to work 'cause of this), which is a youtube html5 standalone client, so it may not be a chromium issue...
Try minitube and see if it works for you.

I encounter exactly the same problem, as described by João Vieira (Vieira).
However, my environment is slightly different:
chromium 18.0.1025.151-3 (but I remember experiencing this issue before with chromium 17.x, and maybe even chromium 16.x)
xf86-video-intel 2.18.0-1

The issue appears to be solved in chromium 18.0.1025.162-1, can you confirm this?
Comment by João Vieira (Vieira) - Friday, 13 April 2012, 11:42 GMT
Yes, I can confirm that it is solved for me in chromium 18.0.1025.162-1.
