I found in the settings hardware video decoding under performance. Both
had been checked, now both are unchecked:

  [ ] Use recommended performance settings Learn more
      These settings are tailored to your computer's hardware and
      operating system.
        [ ] Use hardware acceleration when available

The issue with the hub still happens. Tried it with just hub and mouse,
no backup drive. Video playback at eg, archive.org, doesn't have problems
with or without the performance setting change.
