Bug Report: Some Bitchute videos display red

Some videos on Bitchute display as solid red rectangles when I play them. I can hear the audio playing, but all I see is a red rectangle. The problem doesn’t occur in Firefox. Disabling Shields doesn’t solve it. Not all videos on Bitchute suffer from it. I’m not logged in to the website when it happens. I’ve attached a screenshot.

Two videos that have the problem:

One that doesn’t:

Someone reported an almost identical problem 4 years ago:

I’m using Brave version 1.77.97 Chromium: 135.0.7049.84 (Official Build) (64-bit)

My OS is Debian 12. I noticed the problem in older versions of Brave and under Ubuntu as well.

Seemingly related, a big red rectangle appears around YouTube videos when I watch them.

Can you try disabling Graphics Acceleration and test to see if that fixes the weird red rectangle?

Settings --> System --> Graphics Acceleration

That solved the problem, both with Bitchute and Youtube. Thanks a bunch!
