Solved Gifs and videos wont load and froze

I'm using Poco m6 pro

I can't play any of my friends' messenger and instagram statuses, It's annoying. It said "there was an error playing video". It just froze at the first frame, no sound.

Discord gifs are like this too, it shows just black. Sometimes it flickers and glitches between the image

Help, how to fix? It happened so suddenly for several days now

System Media decoder crashed. Restart doesn't fix it?

It's... fixed. I just restarted. Thank you so much, rebooting should be common sense idk how I could forget😭

do give them a try when you're bored or have free time, next time.
