Hi,

When I play movies it plays fine but with some specific music videos (downloaded from Youtube) entire Pi freezes.

Please ask for whatever info is needed I will provide them.

Please help me troubleshoot this issue.

BTW I use Ubuntu on my desktop.

The problem videos were using VP9 codec. I have encoded them to h.264 and now they are playing fine.
