Yle Areena videos freeze occasionally #86

Open Oober opened 9 years ago

Oober commented 9 years ago

After replacing my computer, I started to face weird problems with Yle Areena videos (http://areena.yle.fi/tv/kaikki?ulkomaat=1&jarjestys=uusin). This issue appears as freezes in video (audio continues working in the background), but moving a mouse fixes the freeze. No problems with Chrome Pepper Flash on same platform (Ubuntu 14.10).

no problems here, okay I use the -git version + chrome-dev's flash and this on ChakraOS...btw. I never had any problems with areena.yle when I used the "stable" version, about 1 month ago.

Are there any lines with [fresh] [error] or [fresh] [warning] in error log? Usually errors from GUI apps are going to ~/.xsession-errors, unless they are started from terminal emulator.

By any chance, are freezing intervals related to screen saver timeout?

Oober commented 9 years ago

No, there are no errors or warnings at the timo of freeze (firefox started from terminal). Freezing intervals are very random -sometimes video works 2 seconds before freezing, sometimes it takes 20 minutes.

On the other hand, I have no problems with same videos using my another computer (Ubuntu 14.04, same freshplayer version). Affected system is Asus TP300LA laptop with Intel 4400 graphics. Could it be driver-related or something?

Could it be driver-related or something?

Looks more like timing-related. I've already had hard-to-find bugs which were reproducible on some computers, but not on the computer I currently use.

No any problems here with yle areena videos in Mageia 5 rc with pepper flash 17.0.0.169 freshplayer 0.2.2.

I have a different kind of issue: video plays, but performance is unwatchable. For example Youtube works fine and I can get even hwdec working there.

Firefox started from terminal:

NOT SANDBOXED
[fresh 19714] not implemented: PPB_OpenGLES2VertexArrayObject;1.0
[fresh 19714] not implemented: PPB_OpenGLES2DrawBuffers(Dev);1.0
Vector smash protection is enabled.

(but I get those same errors when video works fine, e.g. on Youtube)

I noticed that on htop process /usr/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/mdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt8 is taking up abnormal amount of CPU usage:

untitled

I don't understand what that means, could be a lead (doesn't happen e.g. on Youtube).

Ubuntu 14.04, Cinnamon DE Intel HD4000 Flash 19.0.0.185 Firefox 41.0 freshplayerplugin, built from the latest, also tried a build with WITH_GLES2=0

I tried again, video still plays fine. I think, I can't fix the issue.

@tp0, I've missed your report.

From htop output I can guess your X server is actively doing something. Usually it does nothing until some client program asks it to perform operations like drawing. Could you run sudo perf top for a while. perf program usually located in linux-tools package in Debian-based distros. It's a profiler frontend. perf top show what is taking most CPU in a more precise way.
