It is simple when it comes to mouse events, because any mouse event should show the controls. User activity gets used to determine when controls should show/hide. Report user touch activity when touch events occur. This can get turned off by any sub-components that wants touch events to act another way. I also see the same Xlib and libva messages from above when running VLC with hardware acceleration enabled.This function reports user activity whenever touch events happen. I remember turning off hardware acceleration to stop stuttering in VLC, but that was a long time ago and I actually can't get it to stutter with any setting, now. If downloaded videos stutter, then there may be a hardware or audio configuration error. You can run vlc in a terminal and see both information messages and error logs. For people having issues it looked like va_openDriver() returned -1, so it's unclear whether this is even an issue.ĭoes your system stutter when playing videos with vlc? Perhaps it is an audio issue. I found some Google results about 'extension XFree86-DRI missing on display,' but it seemed to be ATI people. Vainfo: Supported profile and entrypoints Vainfo: Driver version: Splitted-Desktop Systems VDPAU backend for VA-API - 0.7.3

Libva: Trying to open /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/dri/nvidia_drv_video.so Xlib: extension 'XFree86-DRI' missing on display ':0.0'. Chrome/chromium uses VA-API and it's geared towards intel GPU's, though the vdpau-va-driver package should theoreticlaly allow it to work on nvidia GPU's or other open-source drivers using vdpau. Install vdpau-va-driver package and look at vainfo again.

I'm currently on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and here is the output of lshw ().Īny help on this will be very much appreciated! I started using Ubuntu and haven't booted Windows in over a year. Been putting off joining for way too long. I know they'll probably stop supporting the Flash player, eventually, so this would be a sad and temporary solution, but I can't think of other options.īy the way, this is my first post. Other graphics-accelerated stuff, including WebGL, works very well for me, so I don't want to end up with too broad of a fix.ī) Reluctantly figure out how to override and be opted out of the HTML5 player, again. Perhaps one of the following:Ī) Preferably, some way I can disable hardware video decode for the entire system. I'm glad they're going forward with replacing Flash, but unfortunately I need to find a workaround to get acceptable performance. In chrome:flags, there is an option called 'Disable hardware-accelerated video decode,' but it's disabled, apparently only available for Windows and ChromeOS. I don't understand why it would be slower, but it certainly is, for me.

The framerate is like 3FPS and even the audio starts stuttering.Ī while back, I had poor performance in VLC, and fixed it by disabling hardware video decode. I really think this is great, except the performance I get is just terrible. So I don't see many people talking about it, but it would appear YouTube's HTML5 player is starting to come out of beta: /html5 says I am not opted in to the HTML5 trial, and I get the HTML5 player for all videos that don't have advertisements.
