[SOLVED] Youtube videos are not playing smoothly
« on: February 17, 2011, 01:42:38 AM »
I have noticed lately that the youtube videos I watch are not playing as well as they did prior to the new updates that I have downloaded this week.
Anybody with this problem?
I don't have a powerful machine but it is dual-core....

'fraid I can't duplicate it here Nippur - Youtube videos are playing smoothly.

Could try right clicking on an Youtube video and choose Settings and see if disabling/enabling Hardware acceleration does anything.

Are you using the 10.2xxx version of Flash?

I have switched off the hardware acceleration and the videos have improved greatly.

Thx  :D
