Encounter problems with Chromium playback on Linux.
Encounter problems with Chromium playback on Linux.
Your setup is pretty standard, but it sounds like you're experiencing some performance hiccups. The issue might be related to how the system handles video encoding or display settings. Have you tried adjusting the video codec or resolution in your media player? Also, check if any recent updates to the NVIDIA driver or Ubuntu might be affecting performance. If you're using a different browser, see if switching to Firefox or another alternative improves the experience. Let me know what you try!
Turning it off resolved the issue. The 8k video isn't working anymore, but I don't watch anything at that resolution anyway—it's just a matter of preference. Thanks for the tip! I'm curious why hardware acceleration seems to hurt video playback.
Restore hardware acceleration. The issue arises because Chromium sometimes fails to render properly on the GPU in Linux due to driver problems, even though everything seems normal. You must enable GPU rendering. Open Chrome settings by typing chrome://flags and activate the "ignore-gpu-blacklist" option. Edited June 18, 2020 by Ashley xD typo
I think it might be possible, but I changed to Firefox after finding Chromium installed through Snap. The problem doesn’t seem to exist there, even though I can’t play 8K at 60 frames. It doesn’t really matter to me.
You have the option to remove snap entirely. CAUTION, THIS WILL ERASE ALL SNAP PROGRAMS AND THEIR INFORMATION!!!
