[Solved] Fullscreen 64bit Flash Problems

Mobo - GA-MA770-UD3
Video Card - EVGA 896-P3-1170-AR GeForce GTX 275
Monitor - LG L227WTG-PF
RAM - G.SKILL PI Black 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)

I'm using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091106 Shiretoko/3.5.5
The flash plugin shows up as Shockwave Flash 10.0 r42 underneath Plugins in Firefox
Linux-x86_64
nvidia driver version: 190.42

direct rendering: Yes
    GL_EXT_Cg_shader, GL_EXT_depth_bounds_test, GL_EXT_direct_state_access,

Any other information that you might need to help me let me know.

What's happening is when I goto youtube and watch a video it will play fine.  (It happens on all videos using the flash player)

I can open it up in fullscreen and play the video fine UNTIL I move my mouse. When I move my mouse the video becomes extremely choppy and sometimes stops playback all together for 5-10 seconds until I stop moving my mouse. This is annoying because when I want to exit fullscreen I sometimes use the mouse to click on the X in the bottom right hand corner and it ends up lagging firefox and I'm sometimes unable to exit unless I use "Alt+Tab" and it will minimize the firefox window and the screen will become garbled for about 30 seconds then it will return to normal.

Here's a video of it happening on my setup:

I've been having issues with this problem ever since I installed Arch about 3 days ago and I can't seem to figure out how to fix it. Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Re: [Solved] Fullscreen 64bit Flash Problems

I switched to mplayer for watching fullscreen youtube a long time ago. Better quality, less choppyness, less cpu usage.

Edit: there is some greasemonkey scripts to embedd mplayer/vlc for youtube watching, so you can browse seamlessly like with the flash player.

I was thinking about trying this until I remembered I mostly use youtube for watching a set of videos using their "quicklist". It has an autoplay function that allows you to play a playlist of their videos. Will the mplayer / greasemonkey script retain that functionality?

same here.  I can verify the fullscreen bug too, but as someone already pointed out, it's flash's fault.  I loved the mplayer/greasemonkey plugin, but as far as I can tell it doesnt do teh quicklist/playlist auto play, and for some reason which i never bothered figuring out, it took forever to load videos (might have something to do with my blocking a lot of google-centric second party dns relayers, but that's another story).  youtube on flash plugin, on the other hand, loads fairly quickly, so for now I continue using flash on youtube.

I've had this too but not quite like this.  I found a couple of things that can help that I've posted here if you use nvidia and KDE.

Still having this problem. Am I the only one?

By the way I'm using a USB Razer Salmosa mouse if that helps at all.

I'm pretty sure everyone has this problem.

You will also notice that it's only youtube. Sites like dailymotion.com are much, MUCH better.

Re: [Solved] Fullscreen 64bit Flash Problems

Try switching the command to launch firefox  from:
firefox
to

env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libGL.so.1 firefox

That didn't do much.

Does Minitube support that?

Re: [Solved] Fullscreen 64bit Flash Problems

It is something to do with my mouse polling. I lowered the DPI to 800 the lowest and my USB report rate to 125hz and noticed significantly less issues with frame tearing / unresponsiveness. I don't know if this is an evdev issue or an issue with flash, all I know is that it's not a configuration issue that was caused by me. Thanks for everyone's input. I'll wait longer and eventually something might get fixed. big_smile
