    A quick search of 1003 in Shaka issues hints at that being related to a network timeout, and that's consistent with the player requesting a lower quality (it thinks the network can't keep up with the higher bitrate) until it eventually gives up. That could explain why there are so many VAAPI errors, as it's constantly testing new bitrates until it gives up. Super weird.
  • Be aware about Piped, the alternative frontend to YouTube

    It uses a video player that was made by Google. It's shaka player: https://github.com/google/shaka-player. You can see a proof of Piped using this video player here: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/blob/master/package.json#L21

    I expect the Shaka player issue for Providers programming has been there forever due to DRM issues. It has always been there since I started using Stremium months ago anyway. I have Sling and Locast. It looks like your adblocker may be interfering with playback. I have disabled the three ad blockers I am using for the Stremium domain. I use a Chromebook to watch news during the day and today I can still watch any channel, including those that use the Shaka Player by moving the progress bar. My CB is touchscreen, but the PC works the same. Like everyone else I believe the video playback needs serious work. The RW/FF is busted too. Reddit is not the place to get support though. You need to contact them directly. They will usually get back to you, at least in my experience. I'm also looking the the Shaka Player github to see what issues they are working on because it is more likely that improvements will come from there, not Stremium. https://github.com/google/shaka-player

    I believe that's mistaken. From the article:

    > As far as Iโ€™m aware, Widevine is the only available DRM for a Chromium-based browser, especially so for Electron.

    But according to this [0] the Chromium-based Edge browser supports both Google's WideVine CDM and Microsoft's PlayReady CDM. Not sure if that's really any help, but that's a different question.
