Hello guys, I know this isn't the newest processor or platform around, but I'm having playback issues with online videos. This is being used as an HTPC btw. Everything else works fine, Blu-Ray, HD content, everything that does not rely on flash. I've heard that GPU acceleration support hasn't been included in Flash Player 11? Can anyone give me any pointers? The closest I've gotten to smooth playback is using Internet Explorer, and even still it's not smooth with jitters and skipped frames. Please if you have any pointers I'd love to hear them. I don't want to toss this system, but I've sunk quite a bit of money into it when was first introduced. Thanks! Edit: Specs Intel Atom 330 @2.1GHz 2x2GB Mushkin DDR2 800 5-5-5-15 Nvidia ION (9300m) 625/1250 It's overclocked pretty much to the max and I haven't been able to get it smooth enough.

OKAY, so I did install flash 10.3 for Internet Explorer (that's the only one that works, Firefox still lags.) 1080p video now plays smoothly, one issue I'm having is that the video needs to be in full screen for it to even begin buffering. I might need to find an earlier version of flash, but this is a good sign.

Edit: looks like it does work on Firefox, just need to click on the time where I switched modes. Annoying but yesssssm it works!

I'm glad you have managed to achieve a positive outcome.

In Google Chrome there is an option to enable GPU acceleration if you type 'about: flags' in the search bar, then find the option 'GPU compositing on all pages' and enable it.

Thanks, I already knew about that, but this looks like an issue with the new version of flash, which you can't really do much about in chrome. Thanks though!
