Chromium crashes trying to open YouTube

[Adam777]

After the last update, chromium immediately closes itself when opening YouTube links.

RP3+, Buster

clear your cookies

clear your cookies

Yep, that seemed to do the trick, thank you

looks like you'll need it to add to the clear list.

if you have the sync fix it'll be fine.

Code: Select all

sudo mousepad /etc/chromium.d/00-rpi-vars

Code: Select all

--oauth2-client-id=77185425430.apps.googleusercontent.com --oauth2-client-secret=OTJgUOQcT7lO7GsGZq2G4IlT --enable-features=VaapiVideoDecoder

never mind it just started crashing again.

Same issue here. Manually clearing cookies fixed it momentarily, but this is not a valid solution for it to happen every time.

suggest using an alternative browser for youtube for the time being.
it's youtube's local storage cookie(the 1 with the youtube icon in cookies view) causing the issue, i also noticed they enabled poly, which slows down browsers other than theirs.

[snowballEarth]

Yeah wtf? I'm getting this too, started today - probably with an update.

Clearing browsing data didn't fix the problem.

rpi4, bullseye

[CheezPi]

Wow. Looks like I'm not alone now, eh? I hope for a fix on this soon.

EDIT:

Here's what I have: Pi 400, Bullseye.

So, testing this, and not finding any problems - Youtube, latest BE, fully updated.

Can someone pass on a link to a crashing video in case its related to the video type?

it's the whole site, after you leave, then try and go back.

The whole site, including the Chromium app is being weird, crashing the entire browser for some reason.

I got this log of the youtube crash.

Thats the point where I typed youtube.com into the browser and pressed return. Not sure if any of that is useful.

If you delete the youtube service workers from within Chromium the site will work again but you have to accept the t&c's again.

Ehh...I don't know...I think there should be a better fix than clearing YouTube cookies or whatever.

It crash here too 5 times. I just click on the youtube bookmark and it crash. I remove all addons but doesn't fix the problem, only if i delete the cookies the page start to work again.

If i type on the URL bar m.youtube.com youtube will open. With www youtube is crashing.

This the error that appear in the terminal when the Chromium crash :

I'm having a crashing issue as well however it happens after a few videos play I don't have to do anything with cookies.

I've done some setting tweaking that may be useful to know about from my post here viewtopic.php?p=1934933#p1933143

I was also using the incognito mode for youtube so cookies aren't saved. Pi4 4GB fully updated 32bit bullseye

[CheezPi]

Okay...clearing the YouTube service worker cookies did work, but I think that's only a temporary solution. It's probably a bug within Chromium or something.

EDIT: Using the mobile YouTube URL seems to do well too, but it shouldn't really be like that. At least, I don't think so.

[frankdrn]

Yeah, it's not a solution and it only works for the current session. Maybe it could narrow the problem down a bit.

I tried DarkElvenAngel's suggestion of disabling the Skia API but that didn't fix the crash for me.

Me too, yeah. Something is wrong. I would point out that this is happening after the fact that they changed the function of the dislike button, but that's probably unrelated since that opens up another can of worms towards Google sites in general.

I still have crashes but using incognito mode helps with the cookie problem since they are automatically deleted. I can watch about 3 to 5 videos before crashing out. I mentioned Skia as I don't have default setup.

Hmm...I would also temporarily use a different browser too...but what if it is also an issue on other Chromium-based browsers?

[jamesh]

OK, I can replicate this, will forward the issue to those who know.

[kerry_s]

just edit your bookmark to https://m.youtube.com
it still go's to the desktop site but doesn't crash.

Thanks. I hope things work out.
