Not sure if this is related but I had video issues with both Epiphany/Firefox* and Totem. In my case the issue turned out to be ffmpeg-3.4. After downgrading ffmpeg back to 3.3.4 and re-building several packages (I'm not exactly sure what had to be rebuilt), but conservatively all the gst packages? The issue went away. At a minimum, rebuild gst-libav. These are the related bug reports: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789193 https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/6775 *I actually now cannot remember if I had the issue with one or both browsers.
