Tested this again and it seems to have been fixed at some point by some Ubuntu (18.04) updates: my test user still had version 8 of the extension, and I could no longer reproduce the issue, neither before nor after updating the extension to release v9. My main user’s desktop now also appears unaffected.

(I was going to try the workaround reported by @ChrisLancs, but ended up not having to. My ”List type” is set to ”Disabled”.)

Kaatuneen koivun latva osittain tien tukkeena Annanpolulla.

I’m using version 20190203.

Yesterday I noticed a couple of videos took a particularly long time to download, and the resulting files contained all the available streams, as opposed to just the best. For instance, the streams downloaded for https://areena.yle.fi/1-50067640:

The only other one exhibiting this I’ve come across so far is https://areena.yle.fi/1-50044648 (a hefty download even without the excess streams due to the length, but with all streams 25 GB in total).

An example of the previous behavior is https://areena.yle.fi/1-4538143 (published after the other two mentioned, so this is apparently not enacted for all recent publications):

$ ffprobe file:"Sohvaperunat: S07E02-2019-02-09T10:31.mp4" 2>&1 | grep Stream
    Stream #0:0(und): Video: h264 (High) (avc1 / 0x31637661), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 3819 kb/s, 25 fps, 25 tbr, 12800 tbn, 50 tbc (default)
    Stream #0:1(und): Audio: aac (LC) (mp4a / 0x6134706D), 44100 Hz, stereo, fltp, 125 kb/s (default)

The lower quality streams should be easy enough to slice out of the mp4 after downloading, but of course it’d be optimal not to waste the bandwidth downloading them in the first place

Fixed for me by the latest -proposed package. I’m running Bionic, non-EFI, and was affected by the issue with the earlier package.

A new log; still nothing useful from colord AFAICT, despite the –verbose.

The Report button doesn’t seem to do anything for the one ad I’ve reported dozens of times by now: please do something about the obnoxiously loud (Finnish) Weekend Festival ad. Like I said, I’ve already reported it as such countless times using the report button, but Twitch still keeps playing it to me.

I don’t mind ads per se, but I’m now seriously contemplating installing an adblocker just because of this one ad.

Auraus on mitä sattuu, junat eivät kulje ja ihmisiä kuolee kaduille; on minusta järjetöntä miten huonosti Suomessa lumisiin talviin on varauduttu. Jonkin sortin ilmastodenialismia vissiin sekin. Ollaan niin kuin näitä hankaluuksia ei olisikaan, jos ne vaikka siten lakkaisivat olemasta.

…except that –debug isn’t one of gsd-color’s recognized parameters, and adding it caused GDM to fail to start. I changed it to –verbose which is available.

10.08 jani@saegusa:~$ LC_ALL=C /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-color –help-all
Usage:
gsd-color [OPTION?] color

Help Options:
-h, –help Show help options
–help-all Show all help options
–help-gtk Show GTK+ Options

GTK+ Options
–class=CLASS Program class as used by the window manager
–name=NAME Program name as used by the window manager
–gdk-debug=FLAGS GDK debugging flags to set
–gdk-no-debug=FLAGS GDK debugging flags to unset
–gtk-module=MODULES Load additional GTK+ modules
–g-fatal-warnings Make all warnings fatal
–gtk-debug=FLAGS GTK+ debugging flags to set
–gtk-no-debug=FLAGS GTK+ debugging flags to unset

Application Options:
–exit-time Exit after n seconds time
–dummy-name Name when using the dummy daemon
-v, –verbose Verbose
–display=DISPLAY X display to use

There’s also –gtk-debug and –gdk-debug, but I could do with a little help for what to select for those, as just giving ’all’ seems a little counterproductive (for instance, ”touchscreen” and ”interactive” don’t seem very useful here).

10.03 jani@saegusa:~$ LC_ALL=C /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-color –gtk-debug help
Supported debug values: misc plugsocket text tree updates keybindings multihead modules geometry icontheme printing builder size-request no-css-cache baselines pixel-cache no-pixel-cache interactive touchscreen actions resize layout all help

10.04 jani@saegusa:~$ LC_ALL=C /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-color –gdk-debug help
Supported debug values: events misc dnd xim nograbs input cursor multihead xinerama draw eventloop frames settings opengl all help
Error parsing option –gdk-debug

(Looks like –gdk-debug reports an error with ’help’, despite having just listed it as one of the options.)

Sure, I’ve now set it up thus and will post the results once I hit this again (it seems pretty unpredictable, so could be anything from days to weeks).

Here you go. Had this occur twice in a row just now, so my original theory of the second login never failing was false.
