Even though it happens with sw decode, seems to be CrOS specific, so +osvideo folks.

Daniele, Miguel, do you perhaps know if any recent changes could have caused this issue? Thanks!
The CrOs changes do not include anything major in mesa or minigbm

The associated Chrome log is immense:  
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+log/69.0.3486.0..69.0.3494.0?pretty=fuller&n=10000

It'd be great to bisect further.

dalecurtis@, could it have something to do with the SurfaceLayer for video?
Is there an easy way to disable it to double check?
chrome://flags has an option.  search for "SurfaceLayer", and turn it off there.

Can you also try to disable chrome://flags/#enable-viz-display-compositor and see if it fixes the issue?

=>back to test.
Just hit this on my Pixelbook with 68.0.3440.76 beta, the system hard locked (audio looping, pixel corruption around the screen, 10s power button required to restart) after a few instances of it - no crash dump or anything unfortunately. Seemed most prevalent when returning to the tgif tab.

Surfaces aren't enabled on M68, so it seems it may be another issue. Even if they were I'd be surprised if they bring down the system that hard. This seems more like a kernel video issue.
You're the owner of a Pri-1 M-69 chrome media issue. M-69 is now in beta and will ship to stable in coming weeks. See go/chromeschedule. Please work on resolving your issue ASAP if it needs fixing for the M-69 branch.

Pri-1 means the work is required for the branch. Alternatively, update the milestone to M-70 or remove the milestone and drop the priority to P-3.

Unable to repo issue on latest build 10895.9.0, 69.0.3497.21 on eve device.I'll verify on other devices and updated this bug as per it.
This might be  issue 868008  and what I saw in c#11 something very different.

@avkodipelli: in your original reproduction did you see your whole screen flashing black or only the video flashing black? I can't tell from the reproduction video.

If you go into chrome://flags and force enable chrome://flags/#enable-surfaces-for-videos do you see the black flashes return? If so we can dupe this into  issue 868008 .
flashed old build 10894.0.0 to verify above #14 setup on kip device.
- It's not screen flashing, only specific tab which is playing video is flashing.
- chrome://flags/#enable-surfaces-for-videos is set to enable, Issue observed.
- chrome://flags/#enable-surfaces-for-videos is set to disabled, Issue Gone.
