Videos no longer play in chromium.  If I try to play videos on youtube all that
I ever get is the spinning wheel.

I get the following errors when running chromium from the command line.

Hi,

Chromium 122 has been uploaded to unstable/testing. Please let me know
if this bug still happens with the latest version.

Thanks,

Version 122 does not help any.  It just spins and says "If playback
doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device."

htop shows several chromium process taking a lot of cpu:
/usr/lib/chromium/chromium --type=renderer --crashpad-handler-pid=7133
