Solaris: Flash Player 3D Hardware Acceleration

Hi Folks,
Does anybody know about the requirements for 3d hardware
acceleration on Solaris. I found no information about this.

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,

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.

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
There is a case related to my question: https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/FP-5748
Any tips, clues, pointers, commiserations?

Win 8.1 PRO: Internet Explorer and integrated Adobe Flash Player no hardware acceleration on GMA

HI, i have a little problem with your latest release.
I have make a total update of the system today (win 8.1 pro 23 March 2014) and i saw that hardware decoding is not working on Internet explorer (the option is not available in the adobe tool: right click\settings)
How can i resolve?
Using Adobe Plugin+an other browser resolve this bug but i want to use IE
Another question: is coming a new version optimized for low-end video card? i have a gma 500 GPU and the performance are sufficient
Have a nice day

is coming a new version optimized for low-end video card?
Not likely, since the trend is to move to higher performance cards and not the toher way around.
As to the inability to access settings, that's in your browser, most likely ActiveX controls blocking it. There are two options:
1. Disable ActiveX controls: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
2. Use the online settings manager: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager.html <--Choose from the links on the left of the page.

Flash Player standalone, hardware accel & licensing

Hi everybody.
I'm going to achieve my current project of a standalone app developed with the Flex Open Source SDK. I post my questions here because they are related to flah player. In fact, this work will be published as an old-fashioned interactive cd-rom...
My first problem is about hardware acceleration: since flash player 10.1 or something like that it's enabled by default, but i'm experiencing bugs with it... at least on my computer, which has a relatively old integrated graphic card, with the hardware acceleration, i have a realy poor display in fullscreen mode. This problem is documented here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
Is there any way to disable hardware acceleration by default on the published CD-ROM ?? Otherwise I will need to publish it with some troubleshooting documentation, but i don't like it...
Other question: what do I need to know about publishing such a CD-ROM and licensing & copyright issues ? Do I need to include some README file about it ? (note: i'm not using Flash Builder to develop this project)
Thanks

Are there no answers to my questions ?? Maybe i'm not in the rightplace, if so, where should I ask ? Can't find any informations elsewhere, i'm stuck here...
thx

New Flash Player and GPU acceleration...

Hy.
I played this "example video" at 1080p (FF 3.6 and IE8):
http://youtu.be/Ou6_MkIvKOo
with flash build 10.2
I got => CPU load: 3%-11% for the whole video.
ok. I was happy, because I have seen that GPU acceleration worked fine!
now...with flash 10.3 (and later, i.e. latest build) I get for this video --on the same machine with the same software/update--
=> CPU 17%-33% !!! (the video's playback is good and smoothly, ok)..but...
but...why there are big differencies in GPU rendering between 10.2 and 10.3??
I think, the latest build the less CPU load, but it seems that I get the opposite...=> the newer build the bigger CPU load !!! *confused*
thanks.

Hy Maestro!
your video in FF:
1) small window: sw video rendering + accel video decoding.
2) full screen : accel + sw
3) moving the pointer (it is NOT necessary moving it to the beginning! a bit forwards or a bit afterwards is ok)=> accel +accel for the whole video's lenght. ok.
4) small: sw + accel
5) full: accel + sw
6) moving a bit the pointer (scrollbar) => accel + accel
I dont know what I should to say.
now I get 12-20% CPU (and NOT 4% as before ) because the windows defender programm is running now, this will take 2 hours...
now I writing another post, please stay tuned ;-)

Fresh Install Windows 7 x64 IE 9 Flash Player Crash

Greetings All,
I am working on a major imaging prject for my organization. I'm getting ready to create a new image for some of our machines so I was getting the reference computers ready. I have noticed that when flash player is enabled in IE 9 it crashes the browser. I get the "Internet Explorer has stopped working" error. I can click the close program button, IE will try to launch the same page again and i get the error again with a bar on the bottome of the IE window stating "A problem with this webpage caused Internet Explorer to close and reopen the tab". After a few rounds of this I get the "Internet Explorer has stopped trying to restore this website." This is occuring on two different machines that I have been preping.
Here are the details of what I have done to these machines: (Dell E6420 and Dell E6320)
1. Installed Windows 7 x64 from install media (blanked the drive so fresh install)
2. Installed SEP 11.0.6200.754
3. Installed all drivers fresh off of Dell's website.
4. Installed Office 2010.
5. Ran and updated EVERYTHING from MICROSOFT update, SP1 and IE 9 included.
6. Went to Adobe.com and installed the latest Acrobat, Flash, and Shockwave Player from the links on the main page.
7. Rebooted and now anytime I go to any page with Flash objects I get the above error.
Here are version:
Windows 7 x64 SP1
IE 9.0.8112.16421
Shockwave Flash Object (Enabled in Manage Add-ons) 10.2.159.1
As said these are two brand new machines, two fresh loads, two batches of software fresh from the web, and two machines having unacceptable problems when Flash is installed. What's up here?
Many Thanks for your time!

I’m going to take a moment and do two things, bump the thread, and provide a short synopsis on where we stand on this issue.
After much trial and error and the help of Chris I can say with relative certainty that this is an issue with compatibility between nVidia’s Optimus systems and Flash player’s hardware acceleration feature. I don’t know if the issue is just IE9 or IE8. I haven’t taken the time to try this on an Optimus system with IE 8 yet. If someone out there is running one of the Optimus enabled laptops with IE8 and the latest flash installed I would love to hear some feed back.
Ultimately IE8 vs. IE9 is an inconsequential issue. Soon Microsoft will start pushing IE 9 as an important update meaning that the problem will need to be fixed or we’ll be faced with more users having the problem.
I have posted about the issue in the nVidia forums, Dell forums, and Adobe forums. Please find the links to the threads below. I don’t believe the issue to be unique to just the two Dell models that I am dealing with. I have run across numerous complaints along this line from several different OEMs.

Branched this to a new topic as the other one was old.
Can you explain what is happening? When are you crashing? What URLs are you at when this occurs? Can you try updating to the 13.1 or 13.2 ATI drivers (http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/radeonaiw_vista64. aspx) to see if that makes a difference. You can also check to see if disabling Flash Player's hardware acceleration makes a difference.
How do I disable or enable hardware acceleration?
Thanks,
Chris

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?

Hardware acceleration with Flash Player 10

I came across an article on potential hardware acceleration enhancements in Flash Player 10:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/logged_in/jchurch_flashplayer10.html
But I was wondering how to take advantage of this? Here is the snippet from the article which seemed most promising, however when I set the wmode in the html template, I can't see any changes to my application so I'm guessing there must be more to it:
Quote:
In Flash Player 9 Update 3, the first hardware acceleration capabilities were added to Flash Player through hardware-scaled full screen. In Flash Player 10, the same performance gains will be delivered to the browser window through new hardware-based WMODE HTML parameters. The direct WMODE will use your video card to paint pixels to the screen as fast as possible while freeing up your CPU to work on other tasks. The GPU mode works with newer video cards to do much more of the work of transformation and compositing on the video card.
How can this be achieved?

hello everybody
There is on thing I need to know so much ..
how flash player save settings of hardware acceleration in windows ?
i.e : when I enable/disable hardware acceleration from flash player 10 ....
is flash player use registry to do that by saving values and changing them each enable/disable
or there is another way ???
I'm sorry if my question is too long but I need the answer so much
and thanks for all

Did you have video problems with Flash Player 10.2?

Hello Flash Player community,
We're getting ready to release Flash Player 10.3 and we'd like to ask for your help and input. If you encountered video related problems with the current version of Flash Player on sites like YouTube, we're especially interested to learn if the change's we've made to 10.3 help you. We've tested this internally, and while we've seen a definite improvement, we really want to expand the scope of hardware and have those previously impacted try again.
Here's all you need to do:
1. Install the latest video drivers for your system (see step 3 on this page for video driver links and instructions.) This is important, as older drivers contain limitations and bugs that can impact hardware acceleration in Flash Player. Flash Player works with all video cards, but it's possible hardware acceleration might not be fully supported on older hardware.
2. Download and install the browser appropriate Flash Player 10.3 from labs.adobe.com. If you encounter problems installing, please let us know. When upgrade issues occur, it's recommended you run the Flash Player uninstaller (Win, Mac), then try installing again.
3. 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 article. Ignore the instructions to uncheck this setting, we want hardware acceleration to be enabled (make sure “Enable hardware acceleration” is selected/checked.”) If video still fails, please disable hardware acceleration and try again.
4. Navigate to the following two video samples and verify that both video and audio play correctly:
http://www.youtube.com/embed/tgbNymZ7vqY?wmode=direct
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/live-player/
Note: The second link is a large 1080p HD video, so don't worry about any buffering/bandwidth issues with this video: what we're looking for here are display issues (black screen, corrupted video, etc.)
That's it! We'd love to hear your success stories, especially if you were one of the ones that ran into problems when 10.2 was initially released! However, we're equally interested in hearing if things don't work correctly. Please let us know on this thread or send email to [email protected]. Please include a brief description of the problem and your hardware diagnostic file.
Thanks,
Chris

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

Flash Player 10.2 Bug Resolved by ChessCube

Flash 10.2 is a key part of the Adobe move towards a faster lightweight flash that leverages hardware acceleration. Early indications are that performance is massively enhanced. Flash is also on a critical path to get onto Android and other devices. This is something we at ChessCube are very excited about and support.
Immediately after the release of Flash Player 10.2, ChessCube noticed that users’ Adobe plug-in was crashing. It was particularly bad for our Chrome browser customers as Chrome automatically updates users to the latest version of Flash under the hood.
Further reading and the fix here:
http://blog.chesscube.com/flash-player-10-2-bug-resolved-by-chesscube/

Pat's analysis is absolutely correct: this is an issue for Flash developers (I doesn't look like the usage of Flex is relevant for the reproduction case), not for Flash Player users. As such, this post is definitely in the wrong place in a forum aimed at end-users trying to use the Flash Player.
If you want to post this issue on the forums, please do so in one of the developer forums under http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash/ or http://forums.adobe.com/community/flex/.
However, from the looks of it this is a genuine bug in the Flash Player so the absolute best place to report this issue is in the Adobe bugtracker: http://bugs.adobe.com/ In the mean time I concur that any ActionScript developer experiencing crash issues with switch statements should have a good look at the reproduction case and should be able to adapt his code to circumvent this Flash Player bug.
PS I trashed most abuse reports for this thread for now, but please keep it cicvil.

Adobe flash player uses 250% of my cpu playing videos...how is that possible?

Adobe flash player uses 250% of my cpu playing videos...how is that possible?

That is totally possible if you do not have Flash set to
enable hardware accelerations. Right click on a playing
Flash video and select settings from the pop up.
Click the little monitor icon at the bottom left corner.
Check the check box "Enable hardware acceleration."
With out this set, the CPU does all the work of decoding the
video instead of the video card.
update:
As a quick check, went to Hulu and started an episode of
Warehouse 13. With hardware acceleration enabled, CPU
was at 37% for Flash. With hardware acceleration disabled,
this jumped up to 138%.
The test was done on a 2011 Mac Mini Server 2.0 GHz, quad core i7.

Flash hangs when HW acceleration is enabled in Chromium

The system hangs for a second every now and then when playing videos in youtube. And also when I disable HW acceleration, it displays blue tint in all the videos. So, apparently, there is no way I can watch videos on youtube without a problem.
I could use HTML5 but even while using that videos hang when I seek them. Also, there are times when even though I have joined HTML5 trial, videos are still displayed using flash player.
Hardware details: Nvidia 320M graphics card.
This happened after I upgraded my flashplayer. I have noticed that FF plays the videos just fine. Is there a solution to this?
Also, due to low disk space, I generally don't keep the packages in cache so I don't have the older version in cache. I was really hoping if there is no solution to this problem, I would be glad if anyone will share older package here.

The previous version 11.1.102.63 in the ARM-repo has security issues,
but a version 10.3.183.18 with up-to-date security patches is available from Adobe.
Looking at the PKGBUILD of flashplugin-10 looks like it's a 32-bit version while I am on a 64-bit system. For the time being, I have installed version 11.1.102.63-1 which is working fine for now.
I am not really sure as to whether a new version will come or not as last month said that it will launch flash only via pepper plugin api in linux.
