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'''.

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.

Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?

Hi. I have a OS X Yosemite Version 10.10.1 Mac Book Air, Processor 1.86 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
Has anyone else had a problem with the audio not keeping up with the video when switching to full screen on YouTube?
The video starts out fine, but if I click on the expand icon in the lower right corner of the screen the audio won't keep up.
Refreshing the page don't help at all. In fact, nothing seems to help once it starts.
I did not have this problem at all using Mavericks. The problem started after installing Yosemite.
Any way to fix it?

only $99, i thought it was closer to $175.

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. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# 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).

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

Youtube app videos always start in full screen

Is there a way to make the videos in the Youtube app start in normal mode, not in full screen?

Even when the app is in portrait mode, the video starts in full screen mode. I use the ipad in landscape mode and when I start a video I want the video to start with the related content to the right, not in full screen mode.

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.

Hi,
I am having a pb similar to Capain Jeff but with internet explorer. On a website to watch news with video streaming, after the ads are displayed the flash player bugs and the browser stopps and the screen goes grey if i keep clicking.
I had he same green screen on youtube but fixed it thanks to the 1st post from cor-el.
thanks

I can't play videos (youtube for example) unless it is in full screen mode. The audio works in either, but the video only shows in full screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't play videos (you tube for example) except in full screen mode. The audio works in either, but the video doesn't load or run in the normal you tube web site.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Also, the error console shows all sorts of different errors. Though, alot of error parsing values.

Do you have any Mail plug-ins? In particular, do you
have any plug-ins installed on one computer but not

This doesn’t make sense to me. You cannot tell a rule
to move messages to a smart mailbox, only to a normal
mailbox. Each smart mailbox has its own set of
conditions that messages must satisfy in order for
them to appear there.
OK. I misstated this. I have a number of Smart Mailboxes with their specific rules in which to route certain topics to specify mailboxes. I am trying to not have to create each Smart Mailbox on each computer.
The problem is that when I am on the road I add contacts, bookmarks, keychain items, contacts into my laptop and vice versa when home. I would just like to have those Sync on both computers. Seems like it should be easy, but it hasn't been.
I really don't think I have anything "non-standard." A few Smart Mailboxes, a couple of signatures, thats pretty much it.
Note: For those not
familiarized with the ~/ notation, it refers

Video only shows in full screen

Videos played fine earlier today. Without changing anything videos now have sound but no picture. If I choose full screen they play fine. I have reinstalled itunes 11.1.1 and no change. Closed and restarted itunes and again no change. Tried restarting my MacBook Pro and still no change. Anyone have this issue? Know what the issue is?
Itunes 11.1.1
MacBoo Pro late 2011
OSX 10.7.5

I have had the same problem, but because I have been using
Google Chrome almost exclusively for the last couple of months, I
thought it was a Chrome problem and not a Flash problem.
Unfortunately I did not read your response about reinstalling Flash
9. I went through and uninstalled and redownloaded it to see if
that would solve the problem.
It was just today when I realized that the same problem
happens on Firefox. I remarked with surprise about it to my husband
and he replied that is why he has been checking his YouTube
subscriptions in IE. Well,duh.
So the symptoms as we know it are:
In either Firefox or Chrome, two or three YouTube videos will
play fine.
After this, no Flash-based movies will play properly for some
undetermined time.
After going on to other things and coming back, one video
will play fine. The error then returns and won't go away again
without restarting the browser.
Except...
Today I rebooted, switched from Chrome to Firefox, even to IE
and you name it, this error would not go away. The video in
question was a user-uploaded Facebook video in a player that looks
like a vimeo player. I uninstalled and reinstalled and the error
was worse. Two second of the frame jumping and then no picture. IE
would not acknowledge that Flash had been reinstalled.
Is there some way for me to redownload version 9? I deleted
the executable file I had of version 9 in order to download version
10 today.

Video intro slow when full screen

The avi runs great even in authoring mode. Movie and avi is
1024x768. Also runs smooth when running movie.exe as long as it is
run from a window. When I make the movie go full-screen (using an
xtra), the avi has a lot of stops/starts (stutters) and is not
running at full fps. All other parts of my movie run fine at
full-screen. I can't figure out why it slows down to a crawl at
full-screen mode.
Anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks!

Your processor/video card doesn't have enough horsepower to
play the movie. Remember that you are running the digital video
player inside Director, and so Director takes some of the
computer's processing away from the dv player. You may be able to
solve the problem by lowering the data rate of the video, or by
changing the codec altogether. If this dv file really is an AVI
then you are far better off by changing to another, more modern,
file type.

Cannot see embedded Youtube videos; I get a black screen

So, embedded Youtube videos suddenly stopped working. I can still watch videos on the Youtube website just fine. Making an embedded video fullscreen also allows me to see it. I have seen an answer on another thread asking to try Safe Mode. Interestingly, disabling every add-on and plugin (besides Flash and Shockwave) does not fix the issue, but using Safe Mode, which theoretically does the same thing, fixes it :S
The embeds are black screen, and when I hover the mouse over them I see the Refresh and HD buttons, but not the Youtube icon on the lower right. Clicking the lower right area still brings me to the Youtube website, so the button still works, just isn't visible. Reinstalling Waterfox and using a new profile do not fix the issue.
I can't test the issue on Firefox because it has a long-standing problem of the Flash Player crashing constantly every second, which rendered it unusable and is the reason I switched to Waterfox in the first place (in which Flash does not crash).
The troubleshoot information with all Waterfox add-ons disabled (which again, doesn't fix the issue, despite Safe Mode fixing it) can be seen by navigating to the "More system details" on the menu to the right.
Thanks!

I had disabled hardware accel in Waterfox and it didn't fix the embeds, but doing so in Firefox fixed them for Waterfox! Odd. It didn't fix the constant Flash Player crashing, though. Thanks for solving the embeds!

Problems with Itunes Full Screen in MBA 2013 - 10.9 - Flickering Subtitles

All,
I have an issue when I use subtitles in HD movies (Wolverine being the latest example) using iTunes 11.1.3 and play it in full screen on 10.9. Subtitles flicker and sometimes when the next subtitle appears, the old one stays while flickering. It works perfectly when not in full screen. It also works well without subtitles (even though I think it does flicker a bit)
Has anyone else noticed this?
I have also noticed that when I move my mouse so the control-pad comes up (play/pause/etc), the screen flickers a bit. This did not happen in Mountain Lion.
Thanks,
Alex

I found a temporary answer for this problem. While in fullscreen you can pull the control panel in a corner, and stay with your mouse pointer on it, the subtitles appear correctly and you can watch the movie in fullscreen.
But i hope, there is an update comming to solve this problem.

Video streaming stalls in full screen mode

I'm not sure to be in the right category, but my Laptop runs in Tiger and I happen to use video streaming from different websides like ESPN Live and other websides with their own players. I use even some that require a program dowload to be able to see their content. By all those sources the video runs pretty smooth in a normal size. As soon as I put it to full screen it stalls in a certain rhythm no matter if the whole program is buffered or not.
I achieved better results with one of the providers using WMP that via flip4mac streams into Quicktime. Just don't know if and how I could incorporate those other webside players into Quicktime. And if this would be the solution.
I freed up some of my HD to achieve better performance. Have 18 GB free out of 100.. is this too little ?
Do I need a better video card ?
MacBook Pro (Intel) 100 GB 2.16 GHz 1.677 GB RAM
Thanks

Ba,
It may be of interest to know that streaming video codecs are designed for computers of a specific age (CPU and GPU speeds).
DVD quality streams MPEG-2 compression at about 10 Mbits/sec, and the older MPEG-1 compression, designed for NTSC television, streams at about 2 Mbits/sec. At 10 Mbits/sec, the processor must work faster to decompress & display the image. The latest compressions are based on MPEG-4. Even a G3 iBook could display MPEG-4 full screen; so I don't think you need a faster GPU.
Microsoft codecs & containers, the last time I checked, were ancient: based upon MPEG-2. So, check your speed:
DSL Reports speed tests
http://www.dslreports.com/stest
If you use Wi-Fi, IEEE 802.11n is fastest.
Increase the cache size for your codec, if you can. It needs to be contiguous, so I dare to recommend iDefrag 2 (US$30) to clean your remaining disk space and obtain about 20 GB of contiguous space. Video display uses many operating system files, which are likely not fragmented; but you can also de-fragment the Windows codec if it lies in over 100 fragments. (The Spotlight database usually has over 1000 fragments; but pauses in it don't affect one's pleasure in using it.)
My low-resolution DVD is interpolated by my graphics card, and look beautiful at maximal resolution. Streaming graphics apparently isn't programmed to interpolate low resolution: it demands high resolution and high bandwidth.
If you can't increase the cache in WMP, you can lower the resolution of your monitor. That may be why this System Preference was designed to sit on the desktop's top bar.
