Google Chrome screen flicker (frame drop) while playing a video with Windows 8. The video is fully streamed. Same video runs fine with Firefox and same with IE it only happens with Chrome.
Do anyone have any idea what would be causing this?

I recently noticed that YouTube videos look pixelated on MacBook M1 on Chrome, FireFox, & Brave.
I have disabled Hardware-Acceleration on these browsers but still have the same issue.
Safari & Edge Chromium renders the video perfectly and there is no pixelation on any of the videos I tested.
Resolution: 1080p
Tested Video: Dolby Atmos trailer
Video Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pd_6WN9GVtQ
On Chrome / FireFox / Brave
On Safari
Found out an issue regarding the Blurry visuals in YouTube. Chrome/FireFox/Brave uses AV1 video codec to render videos whereas Safari uses VP09 which renders it perfectly. I had to change the Video playback settings in youtube to render it in VP09 as Safari does it by default.
You can also use a helper chrome plugin to mitigate this issue:

I have a brand new MBP, I have tried everything that I can think of and googling and apple support is no help.
In safari 15.1 , a clean install of it, I cannot play streaming video on external monitor through thunderbolt.
If I have the MBP unplugged, it plays the video in safari no problem. However the moment that I hook up an external display, the video play back in safari does not work.
Edge, Chrome, Firefox, DuckDuck Go, and Opera all work fine. this is 100% a browser issue with Safari and Only while hooked up to an external monitor.
Any idea?
When pausing an mp3 file which is played with HTML5 audio in Firefox and Safari on Windows 7, the playback is not stopped immediately, it continues to play for a while (on Firefox the lag is longer).
This pause delay does not appear in Chrome on Windows 7, neither in Firefox, Safari, Chrome on Mac.
Here's my HTML5 code:
<audio class="audio-player" type="audio/mpeg" style="display: none;"></audio>
JS load and play code:
$(".audio-player").attr("src", "file.mp3");
$(".audio-player").get(0).play();
JS pause code:
$(".audio-player").get(0).pause();
I have also tried showing and using the HTML5 audio player controls for play and pause in the browser, and the lag still appears.
Another thing I tried was to create an audio element in JS, without using HTML5 and it is still lagging when paused:
var audio = new Audio();
audio.setAttribute("src","file.mp3");
audio.play();
and later calling for pause:
audio.pause();
Any kind of help is appreciated. Thank you!
Using W3 Total Cache, I have just distributed a video on the Amazon Cloudfront CDN and have been testing it with mediaelement.js. It is working well on Windows 7 (Chrome and IE9) and Windows XP Pro (Chrome and IE8). But, it does not play in Firefox ver 16.01 on either Windows 7 or Windows XP. On Win 7 / Firefox, I see the poster and controls, click play and it tries to play showing the dotted download circle, but does not complete. On Win XP / Firefox, I only see a black rectangle - no controls or anything.
Firefox does work in Win 7 if I play the video from the origin server where mediaelement.js is installed, i.e. not from Amazon Cloudfront CDN. It still has issues in Win XP - it plays the video but the controls cannot be activated by the mouse. So, it plays once then stops and cannot be played again.
So this appears to be an issue with Firefox and the Amazon Cloudfront CDN. Does anyone know why Firefox does not like playing the video from the Amazon Cloudfront CDN?
Thanks!
Check your video. Firefox doesn't support mp4 if this is your only format. Convert the video in webm also and add it to your in same way as the mp4 file.
I am having a very frustrating issue with HTMl5 video and safari/mac.
I am using html5 video throughout the site where needed and it works/plays on every browsers bar safari on a mac (its fine on safari windows and chrome mac for example)
The videos dont stream and only play once the entire file is downloaded. At first I thought it may be to do with the index of the file being at the end and not the beginning (link html5 video = safari wants to download it all) so i tried qtindexswapper but when loading the MP4 into the program it said the MOOV/Index was in the correct position.
Anyone have any idea why safari mac has this issue?
A.
I've seen HTML5 be very picky with videos. They may play fine in a player, but not play or maybe play with no audio once embedded. This is usually due to a video not properly created/formatted. In most cases, re-creating the file in a professional level program alleviates the issue.
