Streaming video stutters in full screen mode in LM9 RC1

[Kevin Leighton]

Watching streaming video from sites such as Youtube, BBC Iplayer and live TV from, for instance, BBC TV through a browser stutters seriously and appears to run at about 1fps although the audio is spot on. This has been tested by myself using Chromium, Firefox and Opera browsers and the result is the same in all.

One user with this issue has reported being able to stream via Totem without a problem.

Any video played directly from the PC is fine, including flash video which I have downloaded to the PC to test.

Thank you for the bug report Kevin.

Issues with support for SiS chipsets and therefore being moved upstream.

Thank you.

Video stuttering in Totem, VLC and slightly better in MPV. This is playing local mpeg (4K) files on Intel GPU at full screen via displayPort output. nVidia GPU is unusable. Very disappointing.

A year ago, it was all ok.
