Thanks for the bug report.

Please:

1. Open a terminal window and run 'top'. Now when the stutter is happening what processes does 'top' report as using the most CPU?

2. Run:

   lspci -k > lspcik.txt
   xrandr --verbose > xrandr.txt
   journalctl -b0 > journal.txt

   and attach the resulting text files here.

I have attached the files..

But :
when quit "system-load-indicator" the stuttering stopped. Video played
smoothly.

Tried it on both computers. Same result.
When "system-load-indicator" is loaded, stutter starts immediately.

Regards.

Thanks.

That's bug 784055. I recommend just uninstalling indicator-multiload.
