RMBP, Chrome, Youtube: Video delays when in full screen

Hi all,
I have a retina Macbook Pro running Mac OS X 10.8.2, Chrome 25.0.1364.99. When I watch youtube videos there is normally no lag. Once I switch into full screen mode, there's a slight delay where instead of the video the screen will show a blank white screen before switching to the video.
This results in a slight 0.5-1s lag of the video behind the audio.
Opening the same video on Firefox and going to full screen doesn't result in this blank white screen and does not result in video lagging behind audio.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you,
it also worked for me

Had the exact same problem the past couple of days, was really frustrating as it was making videos play delayed in full screen and I tried searching for it everywhere but couldn't find any solutions.
Anyway, what I did has fixed it as a temporary workaround:
1. In Chrome, type chrome://plugins in the address bar
2. Click top right to expand +Details
3. Navigate to:

You need to disable the first of the two entries...which I have highlighted in Bold above.
Hope that helps.

Youtube videos lag/freeze on full screen when mouse is inactive, but only in firefox.

I absolutely HATE IE, so I hope we can find a solution to my problem.
Pc info: Win 7 64 bit, 2.9 pentium with 4 gig ram
video: radeon HD 3800
Three days ago I was infected by some malware. While i had it i could not watch videos on youtube in full screen unless i constantly moved my mouse. I uninstalled the malware and it didn't help. I reinstalled videos card drivers (even tried the new beta drivers), firefox, adobe flash, java 32 and 64 bit, and performed these steps: http://techlogon.com/2012/06/04/flash-player-crashes-in-all-web-browsers/
I've reset Firefox, emptied cache in Firefox, and manually deleted all program temp folders I could find. Also, I have disabled all add-ons and plugins, and even ran Firefox in safemode. Nothing seems to work.
There may be a few things I've forgotten that I've tried.

well, in windows safe mode, it seems to play the video in full screen without the mouse moving, but while playing (normal or full screen) it either restarts the video several times or straight crashes the player.

Bad video quality when viewing full screen videos on youtube

whenever i play a video on youtube in HD. it looks pixelated. i do not have this problem when i watch HD videos on youtube on internet explorer.
i also do not have this problem when watching HD videos on other video sites in firefox. this problem only occurs when i watch youtube videos in HD on firefox. The flash settings will also show up pixelated when watching fullscreen videos on youtube in firefox. i also tried to enable hardware acceleration but it did not work.

I had he same green screen on youtube but fixed it thanks to the 1st post from cor-el.

Youtube videos problem (volume slider + full screen)

Hi!
I just bought a new laptop, and I'm trying to watch Youtube videos. I installed the latest version of Flash, and the videos at the default size play fine. However I cannot adjust the volume slider. I put my mouse over the icon and it shows the slider, but when I click to change the volume, the slider bugs out and slowly closes back to hide the slider, showing just the sound icon.
Then another bug is when I click to view the video full screen, the playback options at the bottom (play, pause, volume, etc) are hidden behind my Windows taskbar! Sometimes the video bugs out as well when I go to full screen, showing only one frame and it's all pixelated/torn.
This does not happen using Internet Explorer, the volume and full screen work fine there.
Any idea what's going on? I'm using the newest version of Firefox and Flash. (64 bit)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,
You can try disabling Flash Player hardware acceleration: right-click on a video and deselect '''Enable hardware acceleration'''. If the problem persists, you can also try disabling Firefox acceleration via Firefox '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''' > '''Use hardware acceleration when available'''.

Poor quality HD video playback when in full screen?

I've recently purchased a late 2013 iMac 21.5" mid-range model and finding the video playback quality poor when opening it up to full screen. Does anyone else have this issue?? I was expecting similar quality to my HD tv when using the iPlayer app, but i@m even finding it poor when watching the HBO trailer on the Apple website for Game of Thrones. I have also been into my local Stormfront and found the same issue on both their 21.5 and 27" models on the shop floor.
Am I being too picky? The quality when it is in the small window is amazing.

The quality when it is in the small window is amazing.
One thing that pops into my mind is: what is the resolution/size/quality of the video you are watching? If it was created in a smaller size, then forcing it into showing on a bigger screen will always impact the quality significantly. You cannot enlarge a picture or video without significant quality loss (fuzzy/pixelation).

I have a new Macbook Pro. When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues. When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

I have a brand new Macbook model A1502. I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos. I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted. I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems. Can anyone help me please? This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use. Thanks in advance

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

Have reset Firefox & completed all of steps in "Flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites", but video still won't work. Help!

I have reset Firefox, completed all the steps in "flash video won't play full screen on YouTube, Facebook and other websites". And the video still won't play in full screen. It will play, but frequently stops or sound continues and picture freezes. I have noticed that if I continually move my mouse, it plays fine. All these videos play fine in IE and Chrome.

Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

John0618. Did you ever get a response or solution to problem? I have the same problem (starting about three months ago).

For some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store.

for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.

It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over.

When viewing full screen video in netflix watch instantly, the picture freezes while the audio continues streaming

When watching full screen video in firefox the picture freezes and the audio continues streaming. I had at first thought this was limited to netflix but now see the same problem when viewing flash video sites. Once the picture freezes the computer has to be rebooted. This only happens in firefox. Explorer streams perfectly in fullscreen. The problem began after updating to firefox 3.6 as I had no problems prior to that.
== Operating system ==
Windows XP

For some reason the plugin container is causing some wierd stuff. I didn't know you could have more than one instance of task manager open. while this bug occurred, I had 15 task managers open. So somehow this plugin container is doing soemthing funky with the windows system. I'm the same poster as the last 2 post
Hope this helps the troubleshooting.

Youtube videos lag when i stream them!

youtube videos lag when i stream them!

Hi cybervibin,
Have you looked at our [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fixing-facebook-or-youtube-problems YouTube troubleshooting section]? There is a lot of useful information in there specifically for the issue you describe.
Hopefully this helps!

Whenever I attempt to watch a video of any sort full screen on Firefox my screen turns white but I can hear the video playing.

When viewing pics or videos in FireFox, when screen is enlarged to full screen, page turns white. While I can still hear audio, no picture. I have seen similar posting in problem questions, but solutions have all been closed out.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I have same problem when watching web video and going to full screen it turns white. Audio is still good. If I hit escape all goes back to viewing the video okay.
It occurs in Firefox 6.3 & 6.8.3, Internet Explorer 8, and Google Chrome. Windows Media Player WILL go to full screen okay.
I wished I could submit 2 pics: one of video and 1 of the white screen. But I can't so I'm just sending the white screen pic

My cursor does not disappear when watching full screen movies

I have a rMBP running Mountain Lion, everything is up to date. Like I said when watching full screen videos my cursor arrow does not dissapear. I am new to OSX so is this normal or do I have my settings set up wrong. Its not a huge deal, just getting more annoyed with each video, thanks for your help.

I have the same problem, but in addition, if the cursor doesn't disappear completely the video control menus stay glued to the bottom of the full screen. I may have to switch back to my pc to watch.....

I need help resizing my Minimize and Maximize buttons when in Full Screen mode. They are almost too small to see!

When in Full Screen mode on Mozilla Firefox, the Minimize, Maximize, and Close buttons are extremely small. How do I change the size of these buttons?

Thunderbolt display changes colour temperature when in full screen mode

27" Thunderbolt Display connected to MacBook Air (2011) changes colour temperature when in full screen mode. Switching any setting in System Preferences/Displays changes it back to the correct colour. I have also seen this on a 24" LED Display (Display Port) connected to a Mac Book Pro (2011).

I describe my problem here. I think it's similar, can you see if the console gives you the same error?
