The UHD isn't capable to do 8K to start with, it's 4K max the size of a supported hardware frame. so it's all software. It also only supports DisplayPort version 1.2 or HDMI 1.4 (4096×2160 max), and as such can't drive an 8K screen. So what's the point of playing a 8K video on what will be at the most a 4K screen? For performance, the issue will be more than likely in the compositing side of things. Not enough information provided to act on it. For a start, provide the about:support output, and ideally a performance profile when playing a video.

In fact you can see a perfect 90% Video Engine load. CPU is barely 20% usage and CPU clock clearly saying I don't care, ;) Skrin 2: https://i.imgur.com/LKLbsLm.jpg "Just for fun", the same link with 8K 60fps, potplayer Again, very smooth playback. Like I said before, there is absolutely no problem wathing ANY wideos under: Opera, Chrome, Edge Now regarding: "what's the point of playing a 8K video on what will be at the most a 4K screen?" The same point as watching 4K on 1080p display. Much higher bitrate brings much better video quality, even a downscaled one, and you can't deny that. But Jean, I don't want to bring the discussion to such level. I've found a bug so I reported with a hope that someone will help me. Regards.

NI to jya to continue that conversation.

I can confirm that there is somewhat of an issue with the playback.
In my case it would be expected since the graphics card is a bit old (AMD 760G) tested on Win7x32;
- Here's a pastebin linkto my about:support info;
- Chrome does in fact, playback a bit better the videos on 8k;
- Video tested on.
- Perf link for the video trying to be played for ~20seconds;
- another mention would be that it's still a case for Win10, Ubuntu18, the issue being that the video hangs but the audio still plays when not buffering.

This is reproducing too on mac10.11 with Intel Iris Pro graphics on Firefox 66.0b6. Anything higher than 4k, results in black screen, and only audio.

Playback is really bad here.
Testing on a machine with no HW decoder, we will go from keyframe to keyframe.
Chrome will drop about 50% of the frames but it still looks okay.
On a machine with HW VP9 decoding (intel 630UHD), decoding is fast enough and we don't drop any frames there, however none are painted on screen, we're close to 100% dropped frame rate. This is not because decoding is too slow.
Matt, you could you have a look?

I don't have any machines with HW 8k decoding support unfortunately.
Can you grab a profile?

Older bug, but Matt asked for a profile -- Jean-Yves, is this something you can do?

Matt, could you provide instructions on what profile info you're after?

As mentioned out of band, I just want a gecko profile (with all threads that handle video frames) to try to spot where the bottleneck is.

Testing on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Extreme; plays nicely with the nvidia 1050Ti, barely a slide show when using the intel UHD 630, even though the DXVA Checker shows the GPU decoder at 48% speed (1050Ti is at 97% usage there). In Chrome GPU 3D usage is around 19% vs FF at 35%

Same issue on a Radeon RX 470 (w/ Ryzen 2600 & 16GB RAM). Decodes the first several frames and then the video hangs. Audio still works. 8K at 30fps works perfectly fine.
Here's a profiler capture: https://perfht.ml/2ynoJcD

Yeah, we see it's still the compositor struggling. This really is a problem, the two machines being profiled are really really fast compared to what people have.
