[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 346289] Re: Choppy Flash playback in full screen.
Hi all, so as someone coming from Win7 having just decided Ubuntu 10.10 is to be my new choice as a primary OS, I have been doing what I always do to any OS I use...customizing to perfection or close lol. In any case up until a few days ago I had spent a great deal of time researching how to address Youtube fulls screen freezing and HD playback issues. So having tried all the fixes and workarounds I could find, including testing Youtube in Opera, Chromium, and Firefox 4 beta, I was about to forget about it because nothing was working. Then I found the solution for me...simply remove compiz and its core then reboot! Afterwards Youtube HD playback and fullscreen mode worked flawless. Finally time to watch every preview for Tron Legacy in all their HD brilliance ;-) So if nothing else is working for you and you can live without compiz effects, remove it completely, reboot and hopefully all will be running just fine for you. I still have a great deal to learn about Ubuntu for sure, but for now its time to watch a little Youtube HD and relax...finally!

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 346289] Re: Choppy Flash playback in full screen.
This bug has been present on my Karmic amd_64 setup from the start. It seems to affect most NYTimes videos, though most YouTube videos come out clean. I have tried all of the above fixes without success. I like some of the features of Compiz (e.g., Place Windows), and since disablng it does not improve my videos, I left it on. This is probably an underpowered machine (e.g., GeForce 6150SE nForce 430, nVidia drivers), but since I use Compiz, I apparently can't take advantage of better hardware acceleration anyway. I developed a crude workaround using Greasemonkey that enlarges the NYTimes' embedded Flash player by about 250%. (Find it at http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/90955 .) This gives me flicker- free, high quality video at an acceptable size. Comparing the results from my work-around to full-screen, I notice that I get the most flickering not during the fastest motion, but during the most sound. Perhaps this will suggest a possible solution strategy. -- Choppy Flash playback in full screen. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 346289] Re: Choppy Flash playback in full screen.
I started having this problem on upgrade to Lucid with NVIDIA hardware. The OverrideGPUValidation fix doesn't do anything for me. The up_threshold trick described in Bug #367739 seems to be working, though. If I understand correctly, this is just a workaround: it makes sure the CPU can pick up the slack when Flash doesn't take advantage of hardware acceleration. -- Choppy Flash playback in full screen. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 346289] Re: Choppy Flash playback in full screen.
This bug is still present. In Ubuntu 9.04, the OverrideGPUValidation trick worked for me, and Youtube/iplayer started playing even 1080p videos full speed in fullscreen mode, and other websites were noticeably faster. Before the fix, even 360p videos were very choppy on laptop (M1710 with 7900GTX, 2.16 GhZ) In Ubuntu 10.04, the same fix no longer works. Why does Flash no longer look inside the /etc/adobe folder in Ubuntu 10.04? Perhaps there is a new location where the mms.cfg file needs to go? -- Choppy Flash playback in full screen. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 346289] Re: Choppy Flash playback in full screen.
Thought I'd add in an observation: With Karmic, if I play a flash video in fullscreen, it starts off playing just fine (e.g., youtube). BUT...if I move the mouse, that's when it gets choppy. If I stop moving the mouse, it will usually resume playing properly. If I move the mouse and stop a few more times, it finally stops playing correctly even when the mouse is not moving. It almost acts like a memory issue between the mouse and the flash player, where the mouse fills up some buffer or something and takes up all the memory that flash is using. I don't know anything about the memory allocation, I'm just saying that that's what it makes me think of as I watch it. -- Choppy Flash playback in full screen. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346289 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
