Charlie, yes I would recommend using mpv instead of totem. mpv will
perform better and is the only other video player that will take
advantage of Intel hardware acceleration properly [2]. I do _not_
In response to my previous comment, switching to SMPlayer improves the
symptom, but does not seem to resolve it.

If I am reading this commentary, and that in

looking like uninstalling totem and changing to another player might be
the best answer, am I correct?

Sorry for the long delay in responding - had to wait for some other
things to finish so I could switch from Xorg to Wayland. The same types
of pauses/lags/freezes happen to me under Wayland using mpv as were
happening under Xorg. They may be slightly less frequent (subjective
judgment, no actual
Before we merge this bug into bug 1698270 I would like to hear Tracy's
response to comment #25.
Then I expect we will need/want to get more of the above lists of gnome-
shell performance issues fixed before we can confidently say this issue
exists purely within video playback.
P.S. If the
Sergei, "performance" is a general category of problems that includes dropped
frames. For example, in gnome-shell I have separated those issues:

from the ones that incur measurably high hardware usage:

A low frame rate is still a
Also when I was on 17.10 beta, there was an update that broke totem
(black screen instead of video). Problem appeared after the issue was
fixed.

I've checked iowait using iotop during lags and revealed no spikes or something
like that. So it's not a performance problem at all. I believe gstreamer is
just dropping frames due to some bugs.
I had 17.10 installed and had no issue that time.

One more thing:
Wayland sessions might perform better, so please try mpv in a Wayland
session. Unfortunately Totem probably won't work there (bug 1770725).

The pauses are very brief using mpv - using totem I still get pauses in
excess of 5 seconds at random points during playback. However I am
willing to accept that this would constitute a duplicate of 1698270, and
will wait for any updates there.

Thanks.
If the pauses are now very brief with your BIOS in "fixed" mode, and if
mpv is performing slightly better than totem, then I suggest this is now
a duplicate of bug 1698270. Bug 1698270 is not fully resolved and
requires more investigation.

Totem and gnome-shell both are running between 10% and 30% each (they
bounce back and forth during playback). The next highest usage
(according to top) is 8% and under. Is there a way to capture CPU usage
during playback that will be representative of actual usage?
My video resolution is 1920 x

Thanks, but there's no need to benchmark the CPU itself. We already know
the CPU model. What does concern me about CPU usage is whether gnome-
shell or some other process is using considerable CPU during playback.
Do you find that?
Also, please run 'xrandr' and send us the output. Gnome Shell is
Most of that info doesn't mean much to me, but hopefully it will help
narrow things down and at least let you point me in the right
direction

Ah! Your kernel log mentions the AMD video decoder here:
[ 1223.799908] [drm] UVD initialized successfully.
So it's possible that's the cause of the main problem. Can you please
reintroduce the bug and run 'vainfo'? Does 'vainfo' report different
information after you switch your BIOS?
If that
By the way, I also set up Ubuntu 18.04 on a very similar HP machine last
night (Intel Sandy Bridge + Radeon graphics) and can not reproduce any
problems.

Thanks.
What you are experiencing is worse than I have ever seen. We do have a
catch-all bug 1698270 to cover similar issues, but I am not aware of it
ever being as bad as you describe.
Maybe this problem is specific to the VAAPI decoding that is common to
both totem and mpv... Does the problem
