Anyone else having issues with new YouTube 60fps support?

So basically the videos and INCREDIBLY choppy/jumpy/laggy/glitchy/ when trying to watch 60fps footage on Youtube. Is anyone else getting this? Maybe 25% of the video will actually be smooth. It's like it's at 5fps and jumping back and forth a frame or 2 all the time.
 

POSSIBLE FIX ------------
 

I've been having the same issue, I'm thinking it must be a bug in my GPU driver (AMD 6970) or Chrome, or a combination.
 
I managed to fix it by doing the following:
  • Go to chrome://flags
  • Find the "Disable hardware-accelerated video decode" setting
  • Enable it
  • Close chrome, really close it... open your task manager to kill all lingering chrome processes.. or just restart your PC
  • Start it up again
  • Smooth 1080p@60 videos!

Nope, not at all. Not on my PC at home nor on the PC at my school :)

Do you have a strong system? I am tying to find out if people with weak computers are the ones having this issue because as far as I have seen it's isolated to laptops.

Yeah, interestingly it doesn't seem to use any more CPU/GPU/RAM on my Hackintosh to play 60FPS video, even 4K.

For me, using Firefox with forced flash (I edited my user agent), videos that are at 60fps don't just not play at 60fps, they don't play at all. They seem to work (at 30pfs) using the HTML5 player, but that is limited to 720p, which I refuse to use.

On my profile. I'm using Chrome.

Update Chrome, maybe try using the Beta build, and update to the latest Windows/GPU drivers.

 

Otherwise, try a different browser and see if it's still slow; ironically, it might just be Chrome bugging out.

I also get really horrid issues with the entire player when I try and watch standard 4K. 1440p is fine.

Yeah, 60FPS needs the HTML5 player; YT is (thankfully) slowly dropping Flash support.'

 

Don't know about Firefox, but the new Safari on Yosemite runs even 4K 60FPS perfectly fine.

Chrome and GPU drivers are up to date. Windows, not so much, but that shouldn't be the problem as it's not /that/ out of date.

This may be a stupid idea, but make sure you're using the GPU, not the iGPU, if there's a setting for that.

Update anyway :P

 

You never know what bugs Microsoft fixed since the last time you updated.

YouTube doesn't support 60fps on Firefox no matter what tricks you use, but unfortunately Firefox currently doesn't support the features necessary for even 1080p@30fps on YouTube (it's deliberate by YT and will be fixed on FF in the next few releases).

EDIT: Actually it seems to have partial support. Kinda. After messing around with about:config.

use chrome, let the video buffer, make sure your pc isnt bad.

720p60 is fine for that video. 1080p60 has a heart attack even when fully buffered.

I'm noticing that Chrome itself seem to slow to a halt until I pause the video.

That seems very odd, make sure all your drivers are up to date, that seems very odd.

The only issues I'm having with the new 60fps are all the scrublords in the comments that think there's no difference xD

Git Gud.

Really? That's so dumb!

 

I recalled playing 1080p video on Firefox though... Does FF not support the HTML5 player?
