Flash *Responsiveness* In Fullscreen

EvanPurkhiser · 2011-05-30 02:10:52

Hey guys.

Using the latest flash prerelease ( http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=32072 ). Watching 1080p videos on youtube works great. Even in full-screen mode the video isn't choppy or slow. However what does seem to be VERY slow in full-screen mode is the responsiveness of the flash interface.

Is this a limitation of Adobes Flash plugin, or is there something I might be able to do on my end to fix this issue?

I'm using the xf86-video-ati driver with a radeon hd 5670 card.

Did you try disabling hardware acceleration in flash? That always seems to fix my flash issues.

Try adding

OverrideGPUValidation = 1

to your /etc/adobe/mms.cfg file. That still works for me.

This appears to have no effect >.<

That has always worked for me. Did you try rebooting after the change was made and deleting your cache, flash cookies, temp files, etc..? That fix has worked for quite a while on this end. It is one of the first things I do. Maybe it is the new flash version you're using. Wish I could be of more help.

Edit: Some people in the past have reported that changing your local storage size to something higher helps too. Just open a video, right click and open settings, and go to the third tab.

Try this way: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 34#p899434
If you can't click on that video, try this one: http://www.w3schools.com/flash/tryit.as … yhtml_ball and reboot.
