Problem details: Some maps with video will randomly stop working and infinitely load if I have the video enabled by default in the options, unless 1 of 2 things, I either restart the game and play the map that would not start first or I change skin before playing the map ( which skin does not matter I can even switch back to the one that I was using when it didn't load first as long as I change skins at least once ).
This problem also as the side effect of making the game use all of the cpu until restart or maybe until the map is properly loaded.
I don't know what exactly causes this appart from it beeing obviously related to the video and I don't understand how switching skins can help but it does.

Video or screenshot showing the problem:

this is just one of those weird bugs osu!stable has. You can force quit a beatmap by pressing alt+f4, then disable video from settings. It's something to do with mp4 codecs which for some reason osu! can't handle properly.

(no clue what the switching skins thing is about tho)

You are probably running out of memory. Try changing your skin (not just after it happens, but just use a different one to begin with) or disabling compatibility mode if you use it (known cause).
