Following a recent update to Bookworm on a Pi5 both Firefox

 Anybody else seeing this behavior?

Yes! Thanks for joining. Please see the thread "Video speed at a crawl". There are some replies, but no solution. Druck suggests having a look at video codecs, if some are hit and some not. I do not know how to find which codec a video s using, except that a mp4-video shot with my phone is playing normal, but nearly every video shown in a browser will not work (speed like 2-3 frames once in a while). For example if you go to https://tv.nrk.no/serie/fra-boelle-til-bestevenn, you will see a teaser-video running fine, but if you click on the "Play" button, the video starts, but at a crawl.
I realy hope to find a solution to this. Else I will have to replace my Pi5 with a mini-PC
Best regards
