Screen tearing issue #1

Closed trulysinclair closed 5 days ago

trulysinclair commented 8 months ago

Not sure if there's anything that can really be done about this, but for some reason the app has screen tearing issues which are only isolated to the app. When viewing the same video and timestamp in a regular browser there isn't an issue. Otherwise, thank you for creating this I always have youtube off to a side monitor while working on my own Electron app, and I get tired of picking between browser windows with YouTube taking one of its own. Major QoL with this app!

I would test running with "Hardware Acceleration" disabled. If you are running on Windows, look for the "YouTube Desktop" tray icon, and right-click. Hope this helps!

I've been running it for a few days with it off but still the same unfortunately. Nothing major, just subtle tearing here and there

Which OS are you using?

trulysinclair commented 5 months ago

Windows 11. I've also had a weird but repeated issue with turning my volume down to zero and when I bring it back up, potentially too fast but my speakers boom at peak volume and only the YouTube app does this every time. Just weird haha

I've double-checked by pulling up YouTube in Firefox, and Edge but not Chrome. It could easily be an underlying Chromium issue with Electron but I'm unsure

Sorry, I do not use Windows anymore... as support for Windows 10 ends in a year. When I was using Windows 10, I did not have any issues with screen tearing... only remember seeing weird artifacts when the GPU or System memory usage was high. Maybe someone else who is still using Windows could try and replicate

I understand, thank you
