  • Flash player hanging with hardware acceleration enabled

    I'm having the following problem: The Flash player is working fine for some apparently random period of time, then it hangs when it is starting up in order to display a video.  This appears to happen only when hardware acceleration is enabled.  (I have not noticed any problems with hardware acceleration disabled, but I only discovered 24 hours ago that this helped.).  The hang happens under all web browsers (Firefox reports that the Flash player crashed, but it is actually hung on start up, not crashed).  After a hang occurs, trying to view any other Flash video also hangs, and all other programs that attempt to access the video card like Windows Media Player also hang.  The only way to reset things and get video working again is to reboot the machine.
    I suspect the problem is either the Flash player or the machine's graphics driver.  I'm running Flash Player WIN 10,1,53,64 under Windows 7 64 on an Intel Core i5 machine with Intel GMA HD graphics, driver version 8.15.10.2025.
    BTW, is there anyway to permanently disable Flash's use of hardware acceleration? (if I disable, the setting doesn't seem to want to stay)

    Thanks.  The computer is a Lenovo Thinkpad T510.  Intel's utility reports:

  • Flash Player 10.1 hardware acceleration problems

    Just to join the chorus of people having problems with this, we have a custom Flash based video player which is showing behaviour that resembles packet loss when playing back streaming media, ie blocks of empty green content on the frame.
    The thing is there is no packet loss. This happens in any browser running Flash 10.1, however in those same browsers if we turn hardware accelleration off in the Flash settings menu the problem goes away. All machines this is occuring on are running OS and GPU chipset combinations which are listed as being compatible with Flash 10.1 h/w accelleration.
    What I'd like to know from Adobe is, will someone be identifying why this is happening? e.g. is this simply a mis-match between GPU and Flash?
    Its difficult to imagine users with 10.1 installed being able or willing to either disable accelleration or even worse have to upgrade their video drivers?
    thanx in advance,
    Dean Stringer

    You have correctly identified the cause of the display problems; video drivers that do not fully support hardware acceleration, and must therefore either be updated, or hardware accleration turned off.

  • Adobe Flash with R9 290 Hardware Acceleration Black Videos

    I am not sure what causes this bug. I can restart the computer and it fixes the issue but randomly after a while it goes back to black. I can disable hardware acceleration and sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. There are 2 other people I know that had this issue. This happens to me both in Firefox and Chrome.
    http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2179088/290-black-screen-issue-possibly-due-adobe-f lash.html#14303459
    I would report it to the bug site but it seems to be broken.

    R9 290 Black Video Bug - Imgur

    With hardware acceleration, we basically just hand everything off to the video card driver.  It's pretty much an on/off proposition.  My recommendation would be to install the latest AMD drivers that match that chipset to see if there are bugfixes that the OEM hasn't picked up.  Ongoing driver updates on these OEM cards typically aren't as good as what you'd get from an AMD-branded card, but the AMD drivers will typically work (but are unsupported) for the cards made by third-party integrators.  Just set a system restore point or keep a copy of the OEM drivers handy in the odd case you need to roll back.
    If you're experiencing this with hardware acceleration disabled, make sure that you're looking at Flash video.  YouTube serves a lot of HTML5 video these days.  If you right click on it and it says About HTML5, disabling hardware acceleration in Flash isn't going to help you.
    Anyway, if you're for sure looking at Flash videos that aren't rendering and hardware acceleration is disabled, please send me an exact link to the video that reproduces it.
    In addition, detailed information about your OS and the browser version would be helpful in attempting to reproduce it on our end.
    Thanks!

  • New Flash Plugin update with hardware acceleration freezes Youtube videos

    Hello, two days ago i got a prompt for a new flash plugin update, saying that now it was able to use hardware acceleration on MAC too. I did the update but i noticed that with hardware acceleration enabled, any youtube video i see, safari freezes. Seems like it's loading continuously (even if the progress bar of the video is already red). But as soon as i disable hardware acceleration, all goes back as normal, no freeze. What's the problem? Using the last safari version.

    HI,
    There's an article here you might want to read.

  • Linux Flash Player woes with hardware acceleration

    I am trying to get hardware accelerated Youtube video on my Ubuntu 10.04 box. There is nothing unusual about the hardware: Intel C2D, 945G chipset, and nVidia GT210 graphics. (also tried 9600GT and GT440 without success). The OS, nVidia driver, and libvdpau have been kept up-to-date thru Update Manager and Synaptic . But among Flash Player 10.3, 11.0, 11.1, and 11.2 beta that I have tried, none can work consistently with video rendering and video decoding enabled by having "EnableLinuxHWVideodecode=1" to /etc/adobe/mms.cfg. It doesn't matter which version of Firefox I use, or whether the libflashplayer.so is placed in local plugins directory or global.
    - Flash Player 10.3 is perfect until it reaches the end of the clip. Click on Replay at that time, the player rewinds and starts to play. But there is only audio. The video window becomes solid black.
    - Flash Player 11.0 and 11.1 have no accelerated video rendering until I go full screen. Once with accelerated rendering, they have the same problem with replay as 10.3.
    - Flash Player 11.2 beta crashes frequently when I switch video size from the default 360p to something else, or change player mode from default small player to full screen.
    11.2 beta seems to be free from the replay issue. But I cannot try enough videos to be certain because usualy it crashes before reaching the end of clips. As 10.3, 11.0, and maybe even 11.1 are already legacy, my only hope is Adobe can make the 11.2 stable for Linux before it is locked down for release. Am I alone on this or there are other Linux users out there having similar problems?
    Thanks

    Hi Alex1113,
    Thanks for your reply and filing of bug 3077372. I searched the BugBase and found another recent report (https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3075575) on 11.2_p3 crash. It happens when switching to "Larger Player" video size. Since I have seen both types of problems, I voted for both ID 3077372 and 3075575 with comments instead of filing duplicated reports.
    To others,
    The crash seems to be rather gneric. So far it has been reported for Fedora 14, Ubuntu 10.04, Ubuntu 11.10, 32-bit, and 64-bit. I believe it should happen to other configurations with both hardware render and decoding enabled. Please add your votes to raise the priorities of those bugs. Hopefully we will draw enough attention to have them fixed in the next beta.
    Thanks,
    Franklin

  • Immidiate crash of Flash, unable to disable hardware acceleration. Solved!

    Flash video/content crashes instantly, so it makes it impossible to right-click it and enter the settings to disable hardware acceleration. This issue wasn't solved for over 2 years in other forum posts, but I finally did it. You have to temporarily DISABLE all your recording and playback devices in the windows' sound menu. this will let you play flash content (it did help me), just enough to disable hardware accelertion. I am suprized Mozilla survived despite being unable to debug their own software - no respect to customers ad their time.

    Flash is developed by Adobe, not Mozilla. Though the good news is that Firefox is creating their own flash player that should be in a near-future version of Firefox.

  • 32-bit Linux flash 10.3.181.34 nvidia hardware acceleration chroot

    Hi,
    I'm trying to run flash in a chroot in a 32-bit debian linux enviroment (the host is also a 32-bit debian system). I'm running the nvidia proprietary drivers and am able to get iceweasel (the debian rebranded firefox) to run flash with hardware acceleration outside the chroot. At first I could only get the chroot to run flash with software decoding/rendering however i bound the /dev/ directory to the chroot and was informed that flash was running with software rendering but hardware decoding. I was wondering if anyone knew the other pre-requisites for getting flash to run with hardware accelerated rendering inside a chroot.
    Thanks,
    Allan

    There are no 64-bit Flash Players from Adobe released yet. But that does nog have to be an issue for you, you only need to have a 64-bit Flash Player if you have a 64-bit browser. If you do have a 64-bit browser and not a 32-bit browser you could the beta 64-bit player that is currently in beta: http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer11.html
    The usual warnings to using beta software apply. If you try the beta player and have issues with it make sure you report them in the Flash Player 11 forum or directly in the bugtracker if you are familiar with reporting bugs in a software development environment.

  • How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?

    How do I disable the hardware acceleration in Flash player on a Windows XP machine remotely?
    I have a few hundred computers running Adobe Flash Player.
    The operation system is Windows XP.
    They are Compaq 6005 desktop PC’s, with an inbuilt ATI radeon HD 4200 video card.
    We have a persistent issue where viewing a flash video (e.g. something on youtube) causes the video card driver to crash.  You are left with no video signal to the monitor.  Audio continues and the computer still responds to commands. This only happens when watching flash video.
    We have tried:
    Updating flash plugin (numerous versions)
    Updating the video card drivers (we have tried the last three video card driver versions, including the HP drivers and ATI drivers)
    Updating the browsers (this problem happens with IE8/9 and Firefox10/11/12)
    There seems to be two ways to work round this issue.  One is to disable the video acceleration in the ‘troubleshoot’ section in the advanced part of the display settings area in windows.  The other way is to start a flash video, right click, go to ‘settings’ and untick the box marked ‘Enable Hardware Acceleration’.
    Doing either of these things allows the user to view flash videos with no apparent issues.
    Is there a way to disable the hardware acceleration in Flash without visiting the PC?  Perhaps an undocumented option in the mms.cfg file? I understand that you can use an option to skip the video card check, and so force hardware acceleration on, can you do the opposite?
    Thanks in advance
    Daniel.

    Hi.
    I have had over 200 views, and no suggestions as to how this could be fixed.
    I have also posted in the general flash forum, that thread has fewer views.
    If I should put this question in a different forum please let me know which one.
    If what I am asking is not possible is there a mechanism for escalating this issue or requesting a feature for the next version of flash?
    Thanks.

  • Color management for flash player with hardware acceleration

    I have tested the color management for flash player 10.2 with and without hardware acceleration (GPU) on different PCs with different video cards.
    Videos that are played via flash without hardware acceleration on PC have proper color as designed in After Effects.
    When I switch on hardware acceleration, the color shifts, for example green becomes lighter, although grey values are OK. I have tried this by writing a  small Flash programme for playing a movie; I wrote two programmes one with color management as described in the article "Color correction in Flash Player" http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/quickstart/color_correction_as3.html and another one without color management. In both cases I got the same color shift when hardware acceleration was turned on. From the result I concluded that color management does not work when hardware acceleration is on.
    My question is: are there any plans to have color management for flash player with hardware acceleration (GPU) in the near future?
    We need to play complex high definition movies streaming through a high speed local area network that need hardware acceleration to avoid stuttering.

    Hi, LOL at my screen moniker. That's interesting that the FF beta has an Option for that. The only problem, is that I have heard that each browser must UNcheck the H.A. I'm sure you'll find out.
    Hope that works at least for FF. Let me know if you have time.
    I've been checking out Apple TV and Google TV. Just saved the links and some info, haven't had time to go further. I'd prefer Apple TV over Google tho.
    I have a 55" HD Sony/Blu-ray Surround Sound Speakers, etc. I hooked up the VGA cable for Internet, and WOW on the Screen/Monitor!! Now I'm thinking about the iPhone 4 with VZ too, on their pre-order list for 2/3/11!
    Hard to keep up with the Technology, moving faster today for some reason.
    We are under the Snow & Ice warning, getting it now. Hope I don't lose power! If so, I'll be offline for sure.
    If I find anything on that H.A. for IE, I'll let you know.

  • Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder 3 - Video Hardware Acceleration Warning

    I have been looking for an answer for this error for a few days without any luck.
    I just loaded the Adobe Free Encoder 3 and the Flash Media Server (Free Version) on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 running Windows 2003 server standard edition with Service Pack 2.  The computer has an Intel Pentium III Xeon 2.66GHz Quad core processor with 4GB RAM.  I am using an Osprey 240 video capture card.
    The computer was previously running Windows Media Encoder and it was working fine, but I needed to upgrade to a flash stream.
    Whenever I start the Adobe Flash Media Live Encoder I get the following error:
    "The video card's hardware acceleration level is set too low.  Open the Display Properties, Settings tab and click Advanced, then select the Troubleshoot tab and increase the Hardware acceleration setting.  Then restart the application, etc...
    I did as instructed and it did not work. I also tried changing the display settings to lower and higher resolutions.  I also updated the video card to the latest drivers.  I double checked the hardware requirements.  http://www.adobe.com/products/flashmediaserver/flashmediaencoder/systemreqs/ and it looks like I'm ok.
    I also checked the approved hardware list http://www.adobe.com/support/documentation/en/flashmediaencoder/FMLE_DeviceMatrix3.0.pdf.
    The Osprey 240 is not listed, but that seems to be working fine.   
    I'm thinking that the internal video card that I have may not be compatible with the Adobe Encoder.  The video card that I have is an ATI ES1000 embedded video that has only 16MB of RAM.
    I have the latest version of DirectX - I ran DxDiag and it shows that I'm running DirectX 9.0c (4.09.0000.0904),  Under the Display tab it says that the DirectDraw Acceleration, Direct3D Acceleration and AGP Acceleration are not available.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Firefox Flash hardware acceleration broken in Windows 8 for AMD 4870

    I've been having performance issues with Flash in Firefox on Windows 8 ever since I installed it, so I decided to try and get to the bottom of the issue, since Chrome's Pepper Flash plugin works flawlessly on the same machine. I decided to install Windows 7 as a dual-boot environment to do some testing, and installed the same version of Firefox (21), with all the same extensions, the same version of Flash (11.7) and the same display driver (Catalyst 13.1 Legacy). I was surprised to find that the performance issues I'd been having in Windows 8 were completely gone.
    On closer inspection, that seems to be because the 'Use hardware acceleraton' checkbox is doing nothing in Windows 8. Whether it's checked or not, playing a beefy Flash video (one of Giant Bomb's HD progressive streams) uses 35-40% CPU and is pretty choppy. The exact same video, delivered via the exact same software but under Windows 7 is entirely smooth and CPU usage is around 5-10% with the checkbox ticked, and comparable to Windows 8 with hardware acceleration turned off.
    In another test, I compared videos on Youtube with the information box turned on. In Windows 7 it's showing as software video rendering and accelerated video decoding regularly, changing to accelerated for both in full screen. With the exact same setup on Windows 8, it shows software rendering and decoding no matter what, with the associated higher CPU use and poorer video performance. Incidentally, reverting to Flash 10.3 on Windows 8 completely fixes the problem. Hardware acceleration works as it should in all scenarios. It seems to just be the 11 series that's affected.
    Is this a known issue at all, and is there any sort of fix planned? Or is there a way to fix it now? Any help would be appreciated.

    it seems that the problem might not be from adobe side after all!
    Windows 8 user,
    open firefox and type   about:config      in the address bar and hit enter. Type  “webgl”  into the Filter box and then double click on the webgl.force-enabled option to change its value from false to true.
    Problem solve...Radeon HD-7310 dont know for Nvidia but i assume it will work to.

  • Flash Player refuses to make "display" tab available in settings; cannot disable hardware acceleration.

    Windows 8.1 64-bit laptop.  Multiple Flash Player issues.  (1) Sites say I do not have Flash Player installed but Adobe download page says I do.  (2)  Right clicking the test video, or any other video, give access to "settings" but there is no display tab.  (3)  Some video sites suggest watching in HTML5, which does work, but most simply present the green screen.  I have spent the better part of three days reading every forum I can find, and they all point to disabling hardware acceleration, but I cannot access it.  None of the recommended fixes work.

  • Flash Player - Disable Hardware Acceleration - Apple TV-Mac OS 10.4.7/Firefox

    Hello all,
    I have been going down a fun path getting my 1st Generation Apple TV (160 GB HD) to run Hulu natively (without PlayOn restreaming).  After fun times getting Firefox and Flash Player working, I blasted through setting up Hulu Widget to keep the video size small (Apple TV in 480p defaults to an 800x600 res).   Things look pretty good. I maxed out buffering/cache for all Hulu related sites within Global settings, this produced nice improvements.  I found a GreaseMonkey script that forces the Flash Player to always render Low Quality video.  This helps immensely at stopping stuttering with little trade off in quality.  My last piece to try to tweak video playback (aside from monkeying around with the OS X kernel) is the disable Hardware Acceleration.
    BUT, I am having a major problem with mouse support or something.  Everytime I bring up the Display settings via a Right Click, I cannot uncheck "Enable hardware acceleration".  Surprisingly clicking it 500 times still does not make it uncheck.
    I have searched high and low but have not found a clearcut way to disable it via script or other non-interactive means.
    I wonder if there might be a javascript that could be plugged into GreaseMonkey to accomplish the end goal.   This blog and Adobe document refer to the wmode parameter and how to use it to disable HA.
    http://niquimerret.com/?p=159
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10_1_hardware_acceleration.html
    I am thinking perhaps I can take the Low Quality JS (http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/38994) and replace "quality" with "wmode".  Am I on track?    It  seems "opaque" might be the right one.  http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html
