choppy video playback on youtube
I've noticed for the last couple of weeks I believe that when I play youtube when my machine has just reboot works fine but after a whole day using my pc, after a few times locking and unlocking it the video playback on youtube becomes really choppy. If I launch a chrome instance, it works fine. If I close and open edge the problem still persists, just after restarting the machine it comes back to normal
Bear in mind I've an Intel core i7-8700k, and a nvidia RTX 2080ti, so definitely not lack of horsepower.
- Which Edge insider channel/version it's happening on?
what's your Windows 10 OS version?
Are you using latest graphic card driver?
does the problem still happen when hardware acceleration is off?- Version 79.0.309.60 (Official build) beta (64-bit)
- 1909
- Nvidia drive not the latest, I'll do that now 26.21.14.3200
- I'll test with hw accel off
- Thanks, looking forward to the results 🙂
Same thing has been happening with me lately with choppiness on youtube. But also been having an issue with quality of youtube videos too, with options not appearing.
For example there's some videos that only give me the options of 720p and 360p, however on other browsers (Firefox, Safari), all options show up, including 1080p. Not sure what's going on there either.
- You are experiencing that problem right now on latest Edge dev or canary too?
- Yeah, it happens to me either. I use canary and youtube becomes slower and slower.
It has happened for more than two months. I think that is problem of edge not google youtube. Because i changed User Agent to chrome (with this extension https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/user-agent-switcher-and-m/bhchdcejhohfmigjafbampogmaanbfkg)
That problem forbid me from using edge..
I use intel i3 6gen, intel xeon, 1060 and ryzen 2700x 1080
Three of them have the same problem.
I'm glad someone find it too.
