1080p and higher not playable in firefox. #50

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

Almost all frames are dropped. The videos starts and after a couple of frames it freezes while the sound keeps playing on.

erkserkserks commented 6 years ago

Is this a new issue? What operating system, version of Firefox, CPU, and GPU?

Hello, I am on FFox v62 64bit, on Windows 10 64bit, with 8GB of RAM and Intel GMA 4500MHD. In older FFox versions I used to be able to view them without problems even with out this extension. Other browsers play just fine.

I'd like to say I'm also on FF V62 64Bit on Windows 10 and having none of the issues described here.

Apparently you have different system specs.

Tencao commented 6 years ago

System specs compared to yours would be Intel 2500K, 32GB ram and GTX 1070. Not trying to dismiss the issue at hand, just saying it's not wide spread as others aren't experiencing the same.

Could you at least let others resolve their problems without unnecessary interference?

Tencao commented 6 years ago

I'm simply providing more info, he can at least rule out OS and FF version thanks to the info I provided, which would help get whatever problem it is resolved quicker. I don't see why you're bringing any hostility here.

erkserkserks commented 6 years ago

@NikosK72 This issue might be due to missing GPU acceleration. Can you go to about:support (type in address bar), click "Copy text to clipboard", then paste the text here?

Are you also experiencing this issue with other browsers such as Chrome or Edge?

ghost commented 6 years ago

@erkserkserks In Chrome and Edge it works flawlessly. In the performance section I have disabled everything. If enabled, even 720p isn't playable. Strange how, with the extension disabled, the videos play smoothly. Here is the text from the support info of my FFox:

erkserkserks commented 6 years ago

It looks like Mozilla has blacklisted your GPU, according to gfx.blacklist.direct2d.failureid: FEATURE_FAILURE_DL_BLACKLIST_g984

You can try installing a newer version of your graphics driver, since your version is old (8.15.10.2281): https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/22521/Intel-Graphics-Media-Accelerator-Driver-Windows-7-64-Windows-Vista-64-exe-?product=81503

Or try forcing hardware acceleration. See "How to force-enable blocked graphics features" section of https://wiki.mozilla.org/Blocklisting/Blocked_Graphics_Drivers

You can additionally try: media.hardware-video-decoding.force-enabled

Be aware that forcing hardware acceleration may cause crashes or security issues

ghost commented 6 years ago

Indeed, the driver was outdated, but what MS delivered through updates. I have updated the driver, force enabled gpu, but at no avail. I guess I have to move on to better hardware. Thank you very much for spending time on my problem, it is much appreciated. Nikos.
