Have you tried to look at your ATI drivers? Here is the Wiki
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Installation

Also what desktop/WM are you using? DWM performs much differently than a full fledge KDE desktop. With the setup you have though, asides from the unknown amount of ram, you should not be having problems.

xorgx3 · 2012-04-04 11:28:16

I have a proprietary drivers of ATI becouse better manage my graphic card(it isn't loud). Unless something changed since last year? I am not sure change drivers on open source would be good idea.

I'm using a Openbox manager.

EDIT:
When I watching even normal video (360p, small player), my using of procesor is about 20-30% or sometimes more.

Hmm, what is your internet connection speed and do you share it with many people? If you have a wireless router I would check your logs for people accessing the connection. Also what web browser are you using? The proprietary drivers should be fine that's what I run on all my systems. Do you have problems with any other graphic intense programs, such as games or movies? I am also assuming you have the 64-bit version of flash is that correct?

Chances are you have turned on Hardware Acceleration for Flash and that is causing system freezes. What is the output for

 cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

xorgx3 · 2012-04-04 16:29:12

I'm 6096 kbps down and 512 up speed connection. I'm wireless connection, but I'm sure nobody use this, only me. I'm using Chromium. If I watch some 1080p movie on my disc (without flash and browser) procesor little speed up (about 20%), but movies looks great and no freezies or something - just looks beautiful
I probably use 64 bit flash, I was installed it from repo and now I don't know how check it ...

$ cat /etc/adobe/mms.cfg
#EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1
OverrideGPUValidation=true

Change the line:

#EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1

to:

EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0

Unfortunately that is the current workaround. You could also disable hardware accelleration by right clicking on a flash video and disable it in the flash settings.

xorgx3 · 2012-04-04 18:10:06

Unfortunately this not working. Maybe is little better, but video still freezing and i have to restart my WM.

I don't know how understanding this sentence :

Unfortunately that is the current workaround

Can you write this another words?

mich04 · 2012-04-05 11:56:13

Unfortunately that is the current workaround

It means that it is not quite a solution.

It sounds like your problem does not relate to a hardware issue.

Here are my suggestions

1. Test your internet connection. Google has many option for this. If you have a router try to figure out if it keeps logs of who has accessed it. Most linksys and d-link routers do this. The information can be found on their website.

2. turn off hardware acceleration. You can do that by right-clicking on the video and selecting settings. it is in the first menu.

3. Try another browser such as firefox or seamonkey.

4. Downgrade flash.

here is a link for downgrading
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Do … g_Packages

Edit: I just saw that xorgx3 also suggested to turn off hardware acceleration

Ok, I complety remove flashplugin (becouse of downgrade not works). Now I am surprised, movies on YT works very good(html5 is not enabled!, maybe magic?), worse looks comment page, but it's no problem to me.

Of course other stuff like flash games not working, but I don't play games, so it's ok.

If someone will have some ideas to "revitalize" my flash - please write here.

Now it looks like :

OverrideGPUValidation is ignored in flash 11

Ehh,

On html5 movies looks ok.
