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.

  • 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:

  • 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

  • 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.
    Thanks,

  • Problems with hardware acceleration

    Hallo
    I have big problems with hardware acceleration in flash player. What complicates the problem is my laptops manufacter note here:http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-69684
    so I'm accualy confused - is my laptop defected or the source of the problem is in flash player engine.
    In to to point: I can't play some videos, because my video adapter/driver is restarted during watching and after it happens - flash plugin doesn't work anymore (until browser is restarted).
    I have flash player in version: 10.2.154.25
    Nvidia driver: 260.99 (with newest situations is not much better, I tried newest WHQL certified driver but I didn't work perfectly)
    Hardware: Lenovo ThinkPad T61, core2duo 2.1Ghz, 3GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro 140M NVS.
    And here's video showing my laptops behaviour:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrXJCcWV2Sk
    Notice also screen blinking (and audio stuttering) before video adapter is restarted.
    Is it flash fault or hardware is defected?

    I got my laptop with replaced systemboard today.
    Unfortunately the problem is still present. In the meantime there was Flash update released (10.2.159.1 for IE) so I also tried to install newest version - but it didn't help.
    Having systemboard replaced, flash updated I still have screen blinking, video adapter restarting and NOT smooth playback using hardware acceleration.

  • How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

    How do I install recommended updates, when I click on adobe flash plugin update now buttons, I hit a dead end on oracle's website, how do I complete the update?

    First, grab the Adobe uninstaller from here:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-windows.html
    Then download Flash 10.3.183.90 from here - about halfway down the page:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    (Released 6/11/2013) Flash Player 10.3.183.90 (61.1 MB)
    IMO, the best version of Flash for WinXP. Adobe kept up with security updates for 10.3 for WinXP users long after Flash 11.0 came out in 2011 for Vista and newer versions of Windows.
    Run the uninstaller, then reboot your operating system.
    Then you can run the Flash installer, with Firefox closed, of course.
    ''Note, if you still use IE you'll need to reinstall the ActiveX version of Flash for IE. That uninstaller removes all versions of Flash that might be installed,''

    ok   here's more mystery.  i just uninstalled and reinstalled flash player using the adobe uninstaller and rebooting after each step.  aqlso installed latest java.  i started looking at videos and here are the ones that worked: you tube

                                                                                           hulu

                                                                                           reuters
                                    here are the ones that partially worked: the blaze (works on videos that originate from you tube, but not from news stories)
                                                                                              bing (work on videos from their video section - entertainment type, but not from news videos)
    the common thing here seems to be that news type videos crash and entertainment type don't.  also videos seem more likely to crash on internet portals like yahoo

  • With hardware acceleration enabled, and with plenty of tabs open, using the Windows 7 taskbar preview option will almost always crashed the nVidia display driver.

    Latest Firefox 4 beta 6.
    nVidia GT240 1GB DDR3 with driver version 258.96.
    Windows 7 Ultimate.
    If I have plenty of tabs opened, in Firefox 4 beta 6 with hardware acceleration enabled, using the Windows 7 Taskbar preview feature (that will show all the tabs Firefox has loaded) will cause the Nvidia display driver to crash. When this happen, the GUI part of Firefox will be unusable and has to be killed via Task Manager.
    This doesn't happen if hardware acceleration is disabled.

    It is beta software and the older 4.0 b6 version may not work with all display drivers.

  • Installed newest Flash Player, "An error occured" message on Youtube videos not working

    I have the latest version of Flash Player (12.0.0.70) and Firefox (27.0.1) installed but I'm getting the "An error occured" message within 1 or 2 seconds of playing a YouTube video. If I uninstall Flash from the computer it works perfectly. Why is this happening? This isn't happening on my other computer which has the same versions installed.
    I tried disabling ProtectedMode for Flash Player, completely uninstalling/reinstalling, clearing the cache and cookies, etc. It just won't work if Flash is installed. I'm stumped. Help would be appreciated.

    Did you also try to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash player plugin?

  • Unable to do ANYTHING with new Flash Player Update

    I have been pulling my hair out trying to get Flash Player 10.3 to work on my Windows 64-bit OS with the latest version of IE 9.  It worked fine until the June 28th update and then nothing.  I have been working on all the recommendations from the troubleshooting page of Adobe's support page, including making another User Account (which has it working perfectly, btw), but to no avail.  When I try to go to the download page and hit the button, the screen goes to the page that shows the instructions for when the yellow box appears uptop...but then it does nothing.  It doesn't download, it doesn't show the yellow box, nothing. Yesterday it was at least downloading the download manager, but now it won't even do that.  I've tried the hardware acceleration changes, the security changes, disabling the anti-virus, everything they've recommended in troubleshooting.  I've even tried installing a previous version (the one before June 28th) and it just tells me I need to update my Flash Player.  I'm at a complete loss here.  I even tried System Restore and it did nothing.  Any ideas at all?
    Oh, and when I go to check what version I have installed (the Control Panel/Uninstall page shows Flash Player as being installed due to the other account's installation), that page only shows a blank white box with a red circle and cross bar in it and no version number whatsoever.
    I do have Google Chrome also installed on my system, if that might be a problem, but I've had both on my system for as long as I can remember Chrome being out and never had this problem, as I said before, before the latest update.

    Hi, I just reviewed your info and you may want to see if this is a problem.
    Then when you reply back, are you using Win7 or what OS? I know it's a 64bit.
    To turn on ActiveX Filtering
    In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, point to Safety, and then click ActiveX Filtering.
    To turn off ActiveX Filtering on a specific website
    In Internet Explorer, click the Filter button in the Address bar, and then click Turn off ActiveX Filtering.
    To turn off ActiveX Filtering on all websites
    In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, point to Safety, and then click ActiveX Filtering.

  • Jittery Flash video on MacBook Pro (2011) with hardware acceleration

    When I use hardware acceleration the video either has artifacts or is too jittery to watch, disabling hardware acceleration fixes everything. I'm not sure if this is  a flash bug, or perhaps a hardware problem on my MBP.
    e.g. Here's what the video looks like: http://db.tt/Nq1omoX

    Anybody else wondering about this? Has anyone else with XP w/32 bit, downloaded the new Java update in plugins and are you running okay?
    I want to update my Java plugin, but am waiting to see if others with XP, 32 bit have updated and how it works for them.
    Thanks!

    Zukki, just go to your tools, addons and addon manager. It will bring you to your plugin page, and on the left top, in very small print, it has a link to check if your plugins are updated.
    Oh, I left this open so that Zukki can see how to check to see if his update worked, Andy. I'll click that you solved it, once he gets a chance to see where to find the plugin update status.
    Thanks for the link, Andy...the only reason I crashed is that I have very limited RAM. I need to look into buying more and am going to next week. Another topic for discussion! :)
