Youtube Videos lagging

Fanmion

Hi,

I have an issue streaming youtube videos. They have very low fps. Sometimes they are fluent, sometimes they drop down without a reason. The funny thing is that the 60fps videos run smoothly while the normal videos stutter. Can someone please help?

Fanmion Which browser are you using? Firefox?

Fanmion

@Staudey Yes Firefox as flatpak and I have selected hardware acceleration.

Fanmion what about other browsers? Also Firefox from Solus repo?
I don't have this problem.

Does GPU acceleration enable via Flatseal?

Also check this setting:

media.ffmpeg.vaapi.enabled

Solarmass I would second Solarmass' suggestion to look at repo FF instead of Flatpak FF. (Actually I'd recommend that for every Flatpak app you have if there is a software center version). The Solus crew dotes on this browser.

OK guy, Firefox 97 was the bad guy! I tried some video by using ungoogled chromium and I had no problems at all!

Thanks for helping!
