YouTube Stutter at 2x speed

Let me preface this by saying that I have no idea if this post belongs here. Please go ahead and relocate it if needed.

 

Anyways, my issues are as follows:

 

Upon watching certain YouTube videos at greater than 1x speed in the HTML5 player on Chrome (45.0.2454.101 m (64-bit)), I find that randomly throughout the video I get awful stuttering/frame drops (less than 1fps sometimes). I realize that this is perhaps not a hardware issue, and perhaps this is not the best place to discuss such matters, but I figured it wouldn't hurt to check to see if anyone had some solution to this problem.

 

In order to demonstrate the problem (or rather NOT demonstrate it, as it should hopefully work for you guys), here's a link to a video which suffers from particularly bad frame drops (for me, around 0:35). I also attached a screenshot of it with my stats up.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgGzldpbInE

 

I don't think my hardware is to blame (I never see 100% usage of anything, single cores included, and there's no thermal throttling), but here are my potentially relevant specs:

AMD FX-8150

GTX 660Ti (latest drivers)

16 GB RAM (1600MHZ DDR3)

ASUS Xonar DG audio card

Windows 7 Home

 

Other relevant information:

  • The HTML5 player in IE11 runs without stuttering.
  • This has been going on for quite a while now, probably well over a year.
  • I have tried disabling hardware acceleration (does nothing but eat up my CPU)

 

Any ideas, anyone?

probably just an issue with 2x speed on chrome?

send them a bug report and they might fix it

 

also check your GPU vram

Well, it happens with anything greater than 1x speed, so it wouldn't just be 2x.

 

And vram looks fine, only around 300mb usage.

 

I figure I'll probably end up filing a bug report though...

I've been having buffer issues on youtube in chrome for a few days; all other browsers work fine. This happened a few months ago too, and an update fixed it,. 

Just sit tight and it will be fixed soon.

I had very similar problems.to fix it I had to change some settings in Chrome. They're hidden settings related to gpu acceleration. I will try to link it tomorrow since I'm on mobile.

In the mean time Google, chrome gpu acceleration or something like that. You should be able to find instructions to the settings page I'm talking about. (it's just a url but I forgot it)

This is just a YouTube optimization thing.  My laptop that has an i7 5500U and 8 GB Ram does the same thing, and my PC with an i7 5820k and a GTX 980 does it sometimes too...

Well, glad to hear I'm not alone but sad to hear there isn't much to be done about it.

 

Oh well... maybe Chrome will be patched soon.

Sry for poting on an old thread, but this is the only one I found discussing this problem and no solution was found.
I fixed this problem by forcing my CPU to run at boost speed. Not an expert on this but I guess chrome did not prioritize video playback enough to ask the cpu to boost.
