I've been using chrome for a while now to play 720p videos, which mostly
work fine (some stuttering during heavy disk I/O aside). Play mode
doesn't seem to make a difference. I'm using compton (from ports) as my
compositing manager, maybe that's the key.

I'm running a snapshot from ~2 weeks ago (I think) but this has been
working for longer time. The kernel I'm using _does_ contain a few
changes, but I don't think they factor in here.

For the record, this is my dmesg:

OT: youtube video play in chromium - does play mode matters?

2015-09-02 Thread Mihai Popescu 
Hello,

It is a little bit off topic, but this was discussed here in the past
and I think it's nice to keep it here: some people complained about
video playing in browsers. I have the same problems: too slow, sound
stops, etc. I talk mostly about youtube and chromium. I use to play it
in 240p resolution to match my hardware. Everithing greater brings
trouble.

Today I watched a video from gmail inbox, i think it was somehow
embedded in the email. The video run almost perfectly in _720p_! I
clicked the email thumbnail while I was logged on on gmail account.

Can some guru explain this, please? I'm thinking maybe there is a way
to fix playback outside email account.

Thank you.
