Does the "couple minutes" correspond to when the screen saver would trigger? If so try disabling the screen saver. – J. Starnes Jan 13 '18 at 04:54

there is no screensaver installed in ubuntu – user599353 Jan 13 '18 at 18:39

Could be power saving is enabled. What does the command `xset -q | awk '/DPMS is/ {print $NF}'` return? – Terrance Jan 14 '18 at 06:45

Could you try to install ffmpeg by running this command line `apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg` ? – Benjamin Gauthier May 16 '18 at 08:17
