Flash Video Problem

[Scott(0)]

Hi Colin23erk,

The video plays fine for me in Chrome.
Chrome version 37.0.2062.94 (64-bit)
Adobe Flash Player - Version: 14.0.0.177

I can't imagine what could be causing the problem. Have you tried the BBC link in incognito mode?

Hi
This is the details of my current Flash player

Code:

Adobe Flash Player - Version: 14.0.0.177
Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
Name:    Shockwave Flash
Description:    Shockwave Flash 14.0 r0
Version:    14.0.0.177
Location:    /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so
Type:    PPAPI (out-of-process)
    Disable
MIME types:    
MIME type    Description    File extensions
application/x-shockwave-flash    Shockwave Flash    
.swf
application/futuresplash    FutureSplash Player    
.spl
Disable   Always allowed? yes

I have tried Chromium to see if that is any different but it stutters as well even on a short 40
second clip

The Firefox Plugin is
Shockwave Flash 11.2.202.400
Last Updated  28/08/14
libflashplayer.so

Colin,
See if  this helps
Enable hardware acceleration in the Crome.
Open the Google Chrome. Check if it's allready enabled: In the address bar type chrome://gpu and hit Enter.
If it's not then type this in your browser chrome://flags
Search for "Override software rendering list" and enable it then check again with chrome://gpu
Test the video playback.

Hi Misco

Hi Colin23erk,

I'm curious if the problem you're experiencing with Chrome is system wide or limited to the current user account. When you have time create a new user account (like testing account). That is first name is testing and last name is account, or something similar. Logout of your current account and login to the new testing account and test Chrome, does the problem still happen?

Hi
I have tried an old Advent 4211which has  I.6Ghz duel core CPU . The BBC videos play OK without stuttering

At the moment it looks like the problem is on my Samsung NC 110 which I normally use .

Not sure if its relevant but today I had a similar problem on a You-Tube video . There appeared to be some sort of system overload as the browser would not respond properly to me Pausing the video and also I could not highlight the URL to copy it until the video stopped . The same Video worked OK in incognito mode and then later in normal mode after I closed and restarted Chrome

Hi Scott
Tried setting up a different user account as suggested -- Video Stutters
Tried Lite 2  using a  Pen Drive---- Video Stutters
Firefox----Video works OK
Tried using Chrome in Windows 7 (dual Boot)--- Video works OK

It appears to be something that's incompatible between this Samsung computer / BBC video's / Flash / Chrome /  Linux-Lite .

I feel that is such an isolated problem that there is no point in in wasting any more effort trying to find a solution
Thanks for everyone's  help .

Colin
