Video Playback Failure on X (Twitter) - Infinite Buffering

Description of Issue:
Videos on X (Twitter) frequently fail to play, getting stuck in an infinite buffering loop. This issue occurs intermittently, affecting approximately 30-40% of videos.

Troubleshooting Steps Performed: The problem persists even after taking the following steps:

  • Disabling Brave Shields
  • Disabling all extensions
  • Resetting the browser to default settings

Additional Context: This issue appears to be specific to Brave, as the same videos play without any problems in other browsers. The bug is reproducible on the current live version of Brave.

Brave Version: Brave 1.81.135 (Official Build) (64-bit) Chromium: 139.0.7258.127
