TL;DR
After upgrading xorg-server-xwayland from 1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2 to 1.20.0-2, I experience instabilities in video playback with up to 30% dropped frames. # Description When watching a YouTube video in Chromium today, I experienced an unusual stuttering video playback. After using Right Mouse > Statistics for Nerds, YouTube showed a way to high number of dropped frames. Among different videos their relative frequency ranged between 10 and 30 %. (The issue is not limited to YouTube, but they are the only one to provide nice statistics.) I was repeatedly testing different old packages (including linux, chromium, wayland, wayland-protocols, mesa and xorg-server-xwayland and xorg-server-common) from /var/cache/pacman/pkg until I was able to backtrace the issue to a change made in xorg-server-xwayland between version 1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2 and 1.20.0-2: The stuttering is gone in the old version while present in the newer one. # Additional information My hardware configuration includes Intel Core i5-2500K CPU @ 3.30GHz 16 GB DDR3-1333 Asus P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3 XFX Radeon HD 6870 I have the latest packages installed, including linux 4.16.9-1 mesa 18.0.3-4 wayland 1.15.0-1 wayland-protocols 1.14-1 xorg-server-common 1.20.0-2 xorg-server-xwayland 1.20.0-2 sway 0.15.2-1 (This is my window manager!) chromium 66.0.3359.181-1 Thanks for Your help! |
This task depends upon
Also happening in latest update 1.20.0-5 and in 1.20.0-6 testing.
Any fixes?
