Yle Areena videos freeze occasionally
After replacing my computer, I started to face weird problems with Yle Areena videos (http://areena.yle.fi/tv/kaikki?ulkomaat=1&jarjestys=uusin). This issue appears as freezes in video (audio continues working in the background), but moving a mouse fixes the freeze. No problems with Chrome Pepper Flash on same platform (Ubuntu 14.10).
no problems here, okay I use the -git version + chrome-dev's flash and this on ChakraOS...btw. I never had any problems with areena.yle when I used the "stable" version, about 1 month ago.
Are there any lines with [fresh] [error] or [fresh] [warning] in error log? Usually errors from GUI apps are going to ~/.xsession-errors, unless they are started from terminal emulator.
By any chance, are freezing intervals related to screen saver timeout?
No, there are no errors or warnings at the timo of freeze (firefox started from terminal). Freezing intervals are very random -sometimes video works 2 seconds before freezing, sometimes it takes 20 minutes.
On the other hand, I have no problems with same videos using my another computer (Ubuntu 14.04, same freshplayer version). Affected system is Asus TP300LA laptop with Intel 4400 graphics. Could it be driver-related or something?
Could it be driver-related or something?
Looks more like timing-related. I've already had hard-to-find bugs which were reproducible on some computers, but not on the computer I currently use.
No any problems here with yle areena videos in Mageia 5 rc with pepper flash 17.0.0.169 freshplayer 0.2.2.
I have a different kind of issue: video plays, but performance is unwatchable. For example Youtube works fine and I can get even hwdec working there.
Firefox started from terminal:
NOT SANDBOXED
[fresh 19714] not implemented: PPB_OpenGLES2VertexArrayObject;1.0
[fresh 19714] not implemented: PPB_OpenGLES2DrawBuffers(Dev);1.0
Vector smash protection is enabled.
(but I get those same errors when video works fine, e.g. on Youtube)
I noticed that on htop process /usr/bin/X :0 -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/mdm/:0.Xauth -nolisten tcp vt8 is taking up abnormal amount of CPU usage:
I don't understand what that means, could be a lead (doesn't happen e.g. on Youtube).
Ubuntu 14.04, Cinnamon DE Intel HD4000 Flash 19.0.0.185 Firefox 41.0 freshplayerplugin, built from the latest, also tried a build with WITH_GLES2=0
@tp0, I've missed your report.
From htop output I can guess your X server is actively doing something. Usually it does nothing until some client program asks it to perform operations like drawing. Could you run sudo perf top for a while. perf program usually located in linux-tools package in Debian-based distros. It's a profiler frontend. perf top show what is taking most CPU in a more precise way.
