YouTube Fullscreen Ubuntu

Using 32bit Ubuntu
Goto YouTube click on any video and hit fullscreen
The video only takes up about 50% of the screen area on my primary monitor i.e. has huge black margins
I have tried adding "OverrideGPUValidation = 1" to "/etc/adobe/mms.cfg"
This has not worked
This seems to be a verry well documented bug
Please advise on a fix for this

Hi, There is not a "bug" as one would think of it. There is some new Technology in the latest update and perhaps due to that there is an issue.
You may want to go to this site: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/. Right click on the Flash logo, Settings,
then UNcheck the hardware acceleration in Display Settings.
You can read about this here: http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html
Updating Video card drivers are also covered there.

Youtube fullscreen problems.

when i press full screen button on youtube, it goes to full screen but covers odd dimentions. it doesn't cover the whole screen and leaves the uncovered video display area on the screen blanked out. however the buttons to exit full screen when in full screen lighs up when i go to the bottom right corner where the full screen button normally is. so i think it is just display problems. i can clcik in the bottom right corner and i will come out of fullscreen but it doen't show the button to exit full screen on the bottom right corner. it shows it according to its weird dimentions that it does sometimes that display corner could be in the middle of the screen when in full screen and the ret of the screen is blanked out. i really need help!!!!!!

Dear Adobe, by not answering these questions and continuously ignoring the comfortability of linux users, you loose your most expensive community - linux users
From the top 10,000 programmers in the world, be sure that a HUGE amount of them use linux. Less flash applications created by them, more HTML5 applications created by them.
Personally, for me, flash is the last choice to program something (it made the bad impression already, for too long, no fix possible) but still many webpages in the world use Flash for small games, etc... And that works for me like a ****.
Try a week with your flash on ubuntu, like me, adobe. You won't be surprised.
Have you tried our Flash Player 11 RC build on labs out? If not, please give it a try and let us know what you think. If you find specific issues, please feel free to document them as new bugs over at bugbase.aodbe.com.

Windows 8.1 and Desktop IE11 | Youtube fullscreen mode crashing on Flashplayer

Hello
I have problem with flashplayer on desktop IE11. When i try to toogle between normal size mode video on youtube to fullscreen my IE11 crash on flashplayer problem.
I have flashplayer add-on enabled and ActiveX filtering too. And even your website wrote me that i dont have instaled flashplayer on my system or in browser (tried from desktop IE). I tried download solution for windows 8.1 on your website but it doesnt work cuz its only system update and i already have it. And others doesnt work too cuz i have integrated flashplayer for Metro IE in my system from updates.
I want to use my desktop IE instead of metro IE. Can you help me pls? In metro IE it works normaly.

Well, if you're an IT guy, then you should know..
IE is a Microsoft product - Adobe can't fix it. Only Redmond can, and they've given NO indication that they're in a hurry to do anything about IE11, which has caused widespread problems with Yahoo, Facebook, BBC, CBC, ESPN, NBA and NFL websites to name just a few.
IE is the ONLY browser left on earth using ActiveX controls (circa 1993) which EVERYONE else abandoned twelve years ago - they cause more problems than they solve - Adobe can't fix that.
Microsoft modifies and embeds the Flash Player plugin for IE in Windows 8 and 8.1. Adobe writes the base code and does collaborate with Redmond on updates and fixes, but the Win 8 plugin for ActiveX is Microsoft's baby once it goes into the browser. If they screw it up, it's gonna be their fix.
Most of the web will be using HTML5 for video by the end of 2016. YouTube has already converted the majority of exisiting pages, and the code's already in place for new uploads, to automatically determine if Flash is installed and switch to HTML5 if it isn't detected. DailyMotion and Yahoo are doing the same, but not as fast or far along as Google. With the majority of web user on smartphones, Flash will see less and less use as time goes by. Adobe is aware of this. Knowing that aside from games, Flash will be almost non-existent in two years, just how eager do you think they are to develop new and better versions of it? They've dropped Linux development except for security fixes. Android dropped support last year, and Adobe ended security developments for Android Flash Player in September.

Youtube fullscreen video playback does not respond with more then one tab open.

Right, so i've got a dual monitor set-up, and I've found that if I have two or more tabs with youtube videos paused, and I start one in full screen, then click my second monitor, the flash plugin essentially crashes. the video still plays apparently, or at least the sound does, but I cannot click anything, trying to change tabs or do anything on my secondary monitor does nothing other then grey it out saying that it's not responding. Same with my primary monitor if I try to alt+tab out of the flash player fullscreen thing. I have found that ending the flash player process imediately gives me control back, since it's forcing the fullscreen to shut down, but if i do not do this, then I have no access to my browser for several minutes.
Does anyone know what i need to do to fix this? I've trying turning off hardware acceleration and the various commonly suggested fixes, and they don't do shit. So please, help me figure this out. if you need more information, I can provide it.

I should mention that I have this problem in safe-mode as well. all addons are dissables, and I still have this problem. I've already tried re-installing adobe flash, and still nothing changes.

Dwm and youtube fullscreen

When I press the fullscreen button on videos on youtube.com, nothing happens apart from my screen flashing. My window manager is dwm and browser firefox. Thanks for any help.
PS: just to clarify, I am not talking about the fullscreen function of the browser (hotkey F11), but the button on the video itself.

Found it in my email:
Date: Tue, 8 Dec 2009 08:29:01

Subject: Re: [dev] flash fullscreen issue (dwm-5.7.2)

> Fullscreen mode with flash applications (youtube, for example) doesn't
> work properly neither in tiled nor in floating mode.
> Fullscreen window closes immediately after opening.
This is a known bug (for some curiosity I received the same report via privmail from 2 other people within one week, really strange).
The quick fix is commenting out the code in lines 817/818 in hg tip dwm. I cannot confirm this has no side effects (I think it does) and will address this issue shortly with a real fix.
Kind regards,
Anselm

Youtube Fullscreen Bug

Whenever I'm watching fullscreen video on Youtube everything except the video is invisible. Whenever I tap on the screen the bars at the bottom and the top never appear. The elements still work when I click on them, but they don't show up. I can confirm it's a problem with the browser because it works just fine on my stock browser, but strangely I've also had no problems with this on my Nexus 7. Is there anything I can change in the settings (about:config) to fix this? I'm running Firefox on my Samsung Galaxy S2 (SCH-I415) with Jelly Bean 4.1.2

can you try to update Firefox and see if it works, the current version is 22 (yours is 20)

YouTube fullscreen mode lost when switch to another window

How can I save fullscreen mode in YouTube videos after swith to another window?

Currently this is not possible. There is theater view however if you click on the theater button of Youtube.

Youtube fullscreen issue

Hello.
I've noticed that when youtube enters fullscreen in Yosemite the top and bottom info bars stay there, even if I don't move my mouse. With other streaming services this problem doesn't exist. I'm not sure if this is just my problem or a problem all Yosemite users have. It's really quite annoying so any help is appreciated.
Example:
I use a late 2012 iMac (fully spect out appart from RAM, 24GB)
Thanks in advance!

I also noticed this. Usually i move the mouse to the right side of the screen and the top/bottom bars disappear after a few seconds on YouTube . Unfortunately this is not working with Yosemite. Maybe because of the new notification center panel on the right side?
Well anyway, there is a workaround, if you move the mouse pointer e.g. to the bottom left (basically next to the play button). Both bars will disappear if you leave the mouse untouched. Unfortunately the pointer will not disappear. Fullscreen works this way, but you will still see some part of your mouse pointer. Not sure if there is any solution for this kind of problem.

Youtube fullscreen acceleration

Why is it that, when I play videos on fullscreen they play very slow and at cutting speed.??

A lot of that has to do with:
1. Your network interface card (NIC)
2. Your processor speed
3. Your video card and Video RAM installed
For instance, I have a 2007 e-machine with WIndows 7 - an AMD Sempron processor at 2.1gHz, NVidia network card and "onboard" graphics with only 128mb of Video RAM. On a wireless connection, YouTube videos are very "choppy" in full screen. By comparison, I have a new MacMini with a Corei5 (quad core) processor at 2.5gHz, and Intel graphics with 1024Mb of Video RAM, and Realtek network card. Fullscreen videos play like television on it.

Youtube fullscreen only fills browser window

When I am watching a video on youtube and I click on the "fullscreen" icon, instead of filling my entire screen, the video only fills the browser window. This has only started happening recently (after I messed with my proxy settings). I have restored the proxy settings, and it hasn't seemed to help - I'm not sure if this would affect youtube, but it was the only thing I have changed recently. Would very much appreciate some help.

can you upgrade your browser to Firefox 7, it is available via auto updater also by here

Youtube Fullscreen

Hi,
Within dps, I am trying to use the fullscreen mode in youtube but instead it gives me the youtube page with other youtube videos at the bottom etc.
This is what I am doing.....
1. I created a button
2. Make an action to go to url
3. Insert youtube url
4. Complete
Is there anything else I can do to make sure when I tap on the button on my ipad that it will automaticly open youtube in fullscreen.
Thanks
Mylo

For streaming YouTube videos, I think you're better off creating a Web Content overlay that points to the Embed code. See the "Streaming videos" article in the Advanced Overlays issue of the free DPS Tips app for details.
My understanding is that streaming YouTube videos full-screen by default is prohibited on the iPad for security reasons. Users will need to tap an icon to go full screen after the video starts playing.

Youtube fullscreen playback a little jumpy.

Youtube seems to playback a little jumpy when in the fullscreen mode.
I am sure this processor can handle it, how is it for your powerbooks???

Sorry for the double post,
Apple forum's servers seemed to be having problems and kept giving me errors.
I have found a solution to the problem i asked about, it seems that flash does not support hardware scaling of video in fullscreen mode, but a new beta version that adobe has just released includes this.
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
If u are finding youtube or other flash based video a bit jumpy or having 'splits' across the screen in fullscreen mode, download this beta (at least until they make it an official release).
I guess kick *** new processors relied on power to display the video well.

Leaving youtube fullscreen will cause black screen

Whenever I leave a fullscreen youtube video, the screen will turn completely black, not even the mouse cursor is visible anymore.
To "fix" it, I have to switch to a VT via CTRL+ALT+F1 and then back to X via ALT+F7, then everything is back to normal.

emeres wrote:Which graphics card, drivers are you using? Does using xrandr, either switching between two resolutions or just resetting to same resolution, bring your screen back? (Tip: use shortcuts or aliases if you have trouble "typing in dark".)
I'm using intel graphics driver, 915 or 965 (both appears in Xorg.0.log).
I noticed that the black screen thing is somewhat random. It doesn't happen everytime, but it seems random enough that I cannot see any pattern.
Using xrandr to set the currently used resolution (1920x1080) again does not help. However, calling it twice like
xrandr -s 1280x1024 && xrandr -s 1920x1080
will actually work to "fix" the problem.
Edit, more information:
This only happens with flash player, not with html5 player.
Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration in flash settings does not help.
Even more stuff, played with about:config. Modifying these didn't help either though.
layers.acceleration.disabled;true
layers.bufferrotation.enabled;false
layers.componentalpha.enabled;false
What the heck is this site?

It just copies the bbs.archlinux.org content or something? Is that even legal..
