Description

If I start a mp4-video in terminal with io.elementary.videos the following failure is in terminal displayed:

tux@tux-AspireG:~/Videos$ io.elementary.videos 'Simple Minds - Glittering Prize Acoustic.mp4'

(io.elementary.videos:3823): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: 20:16:04.921: g_mount_get_default_location: assertion 'G_IS_MOUNT (mount)' failed

libGL error: failed to create drawable

(io.elementary.videos:3823): Gdk-ERROR **: 20:17:07.834: The program 'io.elementary.videos' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'GLXBadContext'.
(Details: serial 31957 error_code 158 request_code 152 (GLX) minor_code 26)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Hardwareaccelleration with vlc and mpv from app store installed runs fine without failure!

Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the terminal command with the reported Intel Haswell graphics setup, then compare the application's GLX and hardware-acceleration behavior with the working VLC and mpv runs. Done means the MP4 opens without the GLXBadContext crash.
