Control: affects -1 + vlc mpv gnome-mpv baka-mplayer (I am using a personal package of baka-mplayer that I built for #813591 but it's doesn't follow Debian policy in some areas so I can't upload it yet.)

Another workaround is to switch to a non-X virtual terminal and then switch back again, e.g. ctrl-alt-f1 ctrl-alt-f7, which is probably quicker than doing pkill. I've observed the random hanging behaviour for other media players as well (VLC, mpv, baka-mplayer, gnome-mpv). With these programs there is no "type=gpu-process" subprocess to kill, but the ctrl-alt-f1 ctrl-alt-f7 trick does work to "unfreeze" the program. So this is probably not chromium-specific, but related to the way in which these programs use graphics through X. However, I don't know the best package to re-assign this bug to, so I'll leave it for chromium.
