Cypress Dashboard - all videos frozen after a couple of seconds

See original GitHub issue

Current behavior

Every video I tried viewing - either directly in Cypress Dashboard, or locally after downloading it - freezes after a couple of seconds. The playback “continues” but the frame is stuck.

This only happens for tests run in the AWS CodeBuild and sent to Cypress Dashboard.
Videos recorded on local test runs are fine.

Desired behavior

The video should show all test runs till their end.

Test code to reproduce

An example run. Try viewing any of the videos. https://dashboard.cypress.io/projects/25pyh1/runs/4/specs

Cypress Version

9.4.1

Other

The AWS CodeBuild action uses this particular (official) Docker image:

public.ecr.aws/cypress-io/cypress/browsers:node14.17.0-chrome88-ff89

Electron 94 Linux Debian - 10.9

Usually this is indicative of their not being enough CPU to run cypress, any other services you have running, and to record video.

You can log the memory and CPU usage of Cypress by following these instructions: https://on.cypress.io/troubleshooting#Log-memory-and-CPU-usage This will help determine if Cypress is running out of resources and whether the machine requires more.

It’s reproducible with Cypress 9.5.0. But I found out that this happens only with Electron and not Chrome.
