My browser no longer loads videos on sites other than youtube

Hello all

For a few days now, I've been having an issue with looking at videos on my browser, where seemingly any video with the exception of youtube videos refuses to load at all, instead buffering infinitely, saying the video can't be accessed/loaded/etc or just not even allowing me to click "play".

Fixes I've tried so far:

* Checking that DRM content is allowed

* Disabling my extensions one by one and also all at once

* Enabling "fix minor site issues" under "enhanced tracking protection"

None of them have worked so far, although disabling an extension that blocks youtube from showing me shorts did make it so I can click "play" on videos and infinitely buffer them instead of being unable to do anything with them.

Any advice greatly appreciated.

Edit: Installing ffmpeg4.4 fixed the issue for me; apparently I had an old/incorrect version installed

New (to me) zflip 5 having weird issues with cover screen.

Hello,

I just received an excellent quality refurbished z flip 5 I ordered from backmarket, and it has a weird issue with the cover screen:

When the device is folded, the cover screen won't display anything and pressing the power button turns on the inner display. The cover screen does, however, work when opening the camera app and enabling the cover screen preview feature (both touch and display). Based on this, my suspicion was that the device isn't detecting the folding angle properly, but opening youtube and folding it halfway put it in the special navigation mode without problems. So the cover screen verifiably works in with the camera app, and the folding angle is also detected properly. Another issue with the cover screen is that trying to edit the cover screen widgets in the cover screen settings crashes the editor, as well as navigating to the cover screen launcher from the camera preview screen shows no widgets, and no notification bar up top, only the wallpaper and a green dot in the upper right corner.

I'll be happy to provide any other information, or explain further if I didn't describe something clearly. The device seems pristine besides this issue so I'd love to be able to solve this if possible.

Fixes I've attempted:

* Restarting the device

* Booting in safe mode

* Factory data reset

* System update

* Updating all apps via google store

* Updating all apps via samsung store

And lastly, sorry if this has been asked and solved here previously, I tried searching for similar issues on here and the internet in general, but nothing seemed to match the precise symptoms.
