Does the "Enable hardware acceleration" check box work in Google Chrome?

There have been some recent changes to the Flash Player "Enable hardware acceleration" tab in the settings dialog on Google Chrome. This tab is referenced in the How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration? FAQ.
You may have noticed that this tab was recently removed but is now present once again. We wanted to let you know that our intention for this setting on Chrome is to allow you to toggle hardware video decoding on and off. However, as of the current version of Flash Player (11.7.700.225) this is currently not enabled. While the check box will allow you to check and uncheck the box, nothing is actually occurring behind the scenes. We expect to correct this behavior in a upcoming release and will update this FAQ once completed.

No it's not. Gallium is a new architecture for writing drivers, and a bit more than that. Only softpipe and llvmpipe are software renderers, the others are hardware. If easyonthev is now seeing llvmpipe where he saw RV before, it indeed means he lost hardware rendering. I don't have experience with radeon cards though, so I don't know where to look for solutions. According to the log, everything loaded fine.
easyonthev, which graphic card exactly do you have? And are you using KMS or not?

"Enable hardware acceleration" message box.

HI, guys, I am delivering some Captivate SWFs through a PDF and everytime i launch the swf from inside the PDF, i get a popup with "Adobe Flash Player Settings" Display" and "Enable hardware acceleration" is checked. how do i turn off the annoying popup?

Hi,
I'm not sure why this is happening. While you might find someone here that knows the answer to this, I think your best bet would be to repost this question over on the Captivate forums.

Enable Plug-ins check box never stays checked.

Often, when I open and use Safari, the Enable Plug-ins check box is unchecked (Preferences>Security>Web Content>Enable Plug-ins). I am so used to this happening that I normally go into preferences and check this box before surfing. Is there any way to keep this check box permanently checked?
Thanks,
Lou

It's not an age thing.
You and I remember "older" methods, is all.
The Property List Editor (Developer tools) can inspect and edit a .plist file. The .plist (Property List get it?) method replaces older .prefs file format found in OS 9.
Since every app has a "start list" of preferences (default settings) each user can do different things with different apps. They hold everything from the size of a window, the fonts used, the playback settings, etc. and sometimes go "wonky".
Since a new set (.plist file) will be made when you delete an older version it's creation sets things back to "default".

What the "use JSP presentation" check box does?

Can someone tell me what the "use JSP presentation" check box does? (can't find any documentation)
When I set "Implementation type" to "BPM Object Interactive Call' if a check "use JSP presentation" instead of "Use BPM Object Presentation" and I enter a JSP name can I cause the process to start a JSP ?

Hello,
The option is intended to use a JSP instead of a form for a BPM Object interactive call. This means that you have to prepare your custom JSP, add a special tag library provided by Fuego and "mark" your html tags deciding which of them will become the attributes for the instance of your BPM Object.
Whitin the page you can also call some methods of your objects.
Finally you can post back the data and automatically update your object in the process. There is no much documentation and it's even quite old. Take a look here: [http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13154_01/bpm/docs65/taglib/index.html]
The JSP will be shown as a normal interactive activity popup window. You can customize it as you like, even adding some client side script.

Hardware acceleration doesn't work anymore since version 10.2.153.1

Hi all,
Today I updated my flash player to the newest version and its hardware acceleration stopped working. Everything was ok with previous version (10.2.152.32 I guess). I tested it on YouTube - now I get "undefined video rendering" instead of accelerated. Sometimes, when I go to fullscreen before playing the video acceleration turns on but when I go back to the normal mode it shows as undefined or software video rendering. On the other sites (vimeo, dailymotion) I can't open "show video info" dialog so I can't check it but I see more CPU usage in my task manager. Anybody with the same problem?
OS: Windows XP SP3
Browser: Firefox 4 and IE 8 (tested on both)
Graphic card: GF 8600GT
Drivers: Nvidia 266.58
Flash version: 10.2.153.1
EDIT: I downgraded the flash player to previous version (after uninstalling the newest) and hardware acceleration still doesn't work. So what may be the problem? I didn't install any windows or drivers updates lately. I also checked my GPU load (with GPU-Z program) and it's 0% on every video site.

Hi,
I suspect what's happening here is that YouTube recently made changes on their side that disabled StageVideo under certain conditions. This change has been most prominent on Windows, but as you noted it sometimes works during full screen playback. We've been actively investigating the issues reported in the forum (both here and on youtube's.) We're trying to find reproducable cases where the video playback is black/white yet the audio still works, corrupted video, or other issues with hardware acceleration enabled. If you'd like, we'd love to get your feedback on a few tests:
Testing Steps:
1. Verify that the Flash setting "Enable hardware acceleration" is checked. For instructions on finding this setting, please see step 1 of our Troubleshoot video playback issues document. Ignore the instructions to uncheck this setting, we want hardware acceleration to be enabled for the first pass (make sure “Enable hardware acceleration” is selected/checked.”)
2. Navigate to: http://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY?wmode=direct
Does the video playback correctly with…
Hardware Acceleration Enabled (Yes/No):
Hardware Acceleration Disabled* (Yes/No):
3. Navigate to: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/live-player/
Note: I have seen buffering/bandwidth issues with this video, what we're looking for here are display issues (black screen, corrupted video, etc.)
Does the video playback correctly with…
Hardware Acceleration Enabled (Yes/No):
Hardware Acceleration Disabled* (Yes/No):
*If you encounter problems with either of these two videos, please disable hardware acceleration from step 1 (uncheck “Enable hardware acceleration”) and try again.
Thanks,
Chris

How do I enable hardware acceleration in an air exe?

I have a Stage3d game compiled as a windows bundle (exe) using adt -target bundle. Users download it from Steam and have no idea it's even running Adobe AIR.
The problem is that if the user has manually disabled hardware acceleration in Firefox, it will also be disabled in my game. In these cases, context3d.driverInfo will say "Hw_disabled=userDisabled". If they open Firefox, right-click on a flash animation, open the security settings box and check "enable hardware acceleration", it will start working on my Adobe AIR game too. (note this isn't on all systems - I can't recreate the problem myself)
I would love to pop open the display tab of the security panel for them right in my game:
Security.showSettings(Security.DISPLAY);
But that command doesn't work in AIR, it only works in browser plugins.
Explaining to users how to enable hardware acceleration in FF, IE, Safari etc seems like a terrible, confusing solution.
Any better ideas?
(also, I think this might be a bug? can anyone point me to documentation saying firefox & air should share settings like this? I went to report it but the bug tracker's down as usual: http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/)

I found the correct/new link for the bugbase: https://bugbase.adobe.com
and posted this issue as bug 3843535:
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3843535
It seems to be an unfortunately common problem which I would love to find a workaround for if anyone has any ideas. This would be easier if I could recreate it myself...

Enabled hardware acceleration in version 33+ causing everything to render in solid black on Intel HD3000 (on both 2 years old and latest drivers).

Hello,
I'm experiencing troubles with Firefox versions 33+. Enabling hardware acceleration makes everything render in solid black, even on clean profile, even the "Choose profile" and "Firefox already running" dialogs.
Problem started when developers started to work on MSE.
Also the font rendering is doing wild things - some characters like 'l' (small L), 'i' and '-' at certain font sizes are not rendered at all and some characters like '=' are rendered partially like '-'. Of course with hardware acceleration disabled.
This is pretty annoying, because it appears in places I use a lot like address bar and youtube HTML5 player, leading to those render failures:
'Exit full screen' renders as 'Ex t fu screen'
or
'https://www.google.com/search?q=mozilla+firefox&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-nightly&channel=fflb' renders as 'https://www.google.com/search?q-mozilla+firefox&ie-utf 8&oe=utf 8&aq-t&rls-org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial&client-firefox nightly&channel-fflb'
Is there anything I can do about it?
I've tried to update graphic drivers through my laptop manufacturer official sources and through intel's website, but neither did help.
Thanks.

I had the same thing with a nvidia gpu (660GTX) and ff nightly 33 .... every thing had big black pulsing borders like the css animations code had gone mental and the whole screen was flickery .. and all the text was clipping when scrolling creating trails .. I went into the gpu settings disabled acceleration and it worked perfectly after that so I can confirm that 3D accellerations has issue in 33.

Also the mail is acting very funny by not getting the rules work in a proper method. Is ther a software to repair mail.

i did both of them, but still the while sending the mail the diolog box is not showing up and also the spelling and grammer does not do the spelling check.
This problem just started for about 3 to 4 days now. earlier it was working normally.

How to enable hardware acceleration in desktop Adobe AIR app

Hello,
As the author of this post How do I enable hardware acceleration in an air exe? , I am trying to enable hardware acceleration inside my AIR application
If the user has disabled hardware acceleration in his flash player's settings, context3d.driverInfo will say "Hw_disabled=userDisabled"
His only way to re-enable it is to open Internet Explorer or Firefox and right click on a flash content, then check "Enable hardware acceleration"
I (we) would like to be allowed to re-enable it directly inside the AIR app (via actionscript code) and not telling the user to open a browser and check some random checkboxes (cause you know it's not very user-friendly...)
A bug has been opened here Bug#3843535 - Disabling Hardware Acceleration in IE flash plugin disables it in AIR EXEs and is marked as fixed but nothing is fixed : there's still no way to enable hardware acceleration in desktop AIR application
Thanks

Hello,
I pushed to get this bug fixed and was under the impression that we addressed this back in v16. Can you share a sample app so I can have our team take a look?
Thanks,
Chris

My Yosemite 10.10.1 OS does not have a Handoff check box

I have downloaded Yosemite 10.10.1 onto my mid 2011 iMac but it does not have a Handoff check box in GENERAL. How can I get this system to use Handoff?

It should load/install on your iMac since it supposedly meets the Hardware requirements of Mid/late 2007 or newer, but you might not have access to some Features that require newer models like:
    Handoff and Instant Hotspot
    AirDrop
    AirPlay Mirroring
    Power Nap
    Supported by the following Mac models:
    ⁃    MacBook Air (2012 or newer)
    ⁃    MacBook Pro (2012 or newer)
    ⁃    iMac (2012 or newer)
    ⁃    Mac mini (2012 or newer)
    ⁃    Mac Pro (Late 2013)

How to Enable Hardware Acceleration in FireFox 31

Please advise how to enable hardware acceleration in FireFox 31. All my graphics and other hardware/software is current and updated. I've also paired my Bookmark Toolbar down to under 20 entries.
FireFox is so sluggish that just a few open tabs cause the pausing "wheel of doom" every time I try to enter information or go to another part of the website. Sometimes the pauses are 5-10 seconds, sometimes a minute or more.
I do not have this issue on the other browsers that I use.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
*Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can also check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them if possible).

Any wiki about enabling hardware acceleration on openssl?

Is there any wiki about how to enable hardware acceleration on openssl?
or does it just automatically happen?

Archwiki, or in general? The answer to either would be why do you want us to do your googling for you? I did a quick search for each option and took all of 5 seconds to have both answers. (edit: make that all three answers including whether it is "automatic").

Hardware acceleration doesn´t work with 6-core CPU?

Hi,
i´ve upgraded recently my PC to a Phenom X6 6-core CPU and i have encountered a major problem with the Flash player since then.
For example, Youtube HD videos don´t get scaled correctly when watched in fullscreen mode but instead the standard-view gets resized to my screen resolution without scaling
The result looks like this.
http://img217.imageshack.us/i/hd6850y.jpg/
I am pretty sure that even though i activated hardware-acceleration only software-acceleration is used to scale the videos. There seems to be a conflict between the 6-core CPU and the Flash player. I noticed that some software doesn´t work properly with the rather new 6-core CPU´s and it´s probably the same case with Flash player. I think it doesn´t recognize the CPU and switches automatically into software-scaling.
I already re-installed Flash Player several times and tried out several AMD Catalyst drivers for my graphic card. No results.
Any help is appreciated.
My system specs are:
Win XP Professional SP3, latest Flash Player version, latest AMD catalyst, AMD Phenom X6 CPU, AMD HD6850 GPU.
Message was edited by: FredFuchervonFach

Yes, i already updated my graphic card drivers several times.
There is no difference between running with or without hardware acceleration which supports my assumption that hardware acceleration doesn´t work, i guess.
The results are exactly the same
I´m running:
Win XP Professional SP3 32Bit
Firefox 3.6.16
Flash Player version 10,2,153,1
ÁMD Catalyst 11.3

In formcentral, why does the "proceed to checkout" button not work? on IE I get error " This content cannot be displayed in a frame. To help protect the security of information you enter into this website, the publisher of this content does not allow it to be displayed in a frame ". On Chrome I get nothing but loading.

Hi,
This error is generally specific to Internet Explorer and has two possible causes. The most likely explanation is that your browser has unusual browser security settings. I would recommend you try
resetting your security settings to defaults (varies by version but all essentially the same). You may also have to turn off
Protected Mode which is enabled by default on some systems. If you’re seeing this error (or a version of it) outside Internet Explorer, you may have a server-level setting that is preventing your content from being framed.
