Video feed jitters upon screen sharing from Linux machine [All webrtc apps are affected]

Project Member Reported by vasanthakumar@chromium.org, May 9 2018

Issue description

Chrome Version: 66.0.3359.139 [Live stable build]
OS: Linux Z440 

System configuration: Debian rodete x86-64, Cinnomon version 3.4.6, Intel Xeon CPU E5-1650 V3 @ 3.50 GHz x 6, Memory 31.4GB, Graphics card GM107GL (Quadro K620)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open any webrtc live apps like Hangouts, Meet, Appear.in etc
(2) Perform a webrtc call and start screen sharing
(3) Choose "Your entire screen" and observe if the preview is fine
Tip: Make sure camera captures some movement

What is the expected result?
Screen share preview and screen share is free from jitters. 

What happens instead?
Screen share preview window jitters as shown in the video. Even after sharing we can observe similar jitters. This is bad experience to the user and it will be nice to get fixed. 

Regression?
It needs to be verified if this issue is reproducible in M65 and M64. Soon I can bisect and update here in the bug. 

Potential Reason?
Decoding the video seems to play a role here. 

Note:
When the screen share is done for a particular window this issue is not reproducible. For example tried few times of sharing the terminal window. It worked fine. Thus stressing the decoder/encoder could play a role for this behavior. 

As of now reproducible in all later versions like M67 / 67.0.3396.30 and M68 / 68.0.3423.2.

External cameras used for this test are as follows. 
Logitech Webcam C930e
Logitech Brio 4K Stream Edition (046d:086b)

Reproducible in both the cameras.

Tried testing the issue on ubuntu 17.10 using chrome version #66.0.3359.139 as per comment #0.
Observed that on Choosing "Your entire screen" while screen sharing the window was shown as black screen and did not show any image of the entire screen.
From comment #0, the issue seems to be reproducible on Debian rodete x86-64, Cinnomon version 3.4.6, Intel Xeon CPU E5-1650 V3 @ 3.50 GHz x 6, Memory 31.4GB, Graphics card GM107GL (Quadro K620) and using external camera. As ET-team doesn't have any external camera to test the issue.
Hence, forwarding the issue to inhouse team for further triaging the issue.

Thanks...!!


This issue is reproduced in 66.0.3359.139, 65.0.3325.51, 64.0.3282.204, 60.0.3112.98.

Thus it can be older bug.

Thanks @vasanthakumar for confirmation, removing the needs-bisect as per C#4 as this is non regression issue seen from M-60.

Thanks!!

Think this was reported earlier and determined to be an OS bug and not chrome issue.

Thank you Sprang. I just gone through the bug and realized that's duped into b/70981219. Thus I will close this ticket for now. 

If needed in future we can re-open it again.
