User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b12pre) Gecko/20110217 Firefox/4.0b12pre Build Identifier: Carried over from bug 591687. Flash video is dropping frames — while video is running and no user input, but really becomes excessive when data is streaming (loading), switching tab/window or opening a context menu. To test for now, let's all use http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSGBVzeBUbk right click over the video, and choose "show video info". I'm having 100-200 frames drop a minute with a 360p video when no user input in Minefield, Safari 4-5 frames dropped which only appear at initial load or switching between windowed and fullscreen. Reproducible: Always

At 360p I'm only seeing 8 frames dropped after a minute with the latest nightly and Flash 10.2.152.26. And all of those happened within the first second or so of opening the video. At 1080p I'm seeing about 170 frames dropped after the first minute. This seems to be because while the video is loading Flash and Firefox are maxing out my CPU and leaving little left for video processing, once the video has finished loading CPU usage goes down significantly. I've also included the results doing the same thing in Safari as a reference. At 1080p while loading (with movie playing): Firefox - 65-75% CPU Plugin container - 90-100% CPU Safari - 45-50% CPU Plugin container - 90-100% CPU At 1080p while loading (with movie paused): Firefox - 35-40% CPU Plugin container - 80-90% CPU Safari - 35-45% CPU Plugin container - 25-30% CPU Once loading is complete (movie playing): Firefox - 18-20% CPU Plugin container - 75-80% CPU Safari - 3-4% CPU Plugin container - 75-80% CPU

Can you copy and attach the information from: about:support ? What kind of corrupted video are you seeing?
I'm seeing 155 frames dropped after 1 minute of playback on Firefox 4.0rc1 on Mac OSX 10.6.6.

I'm seeing upwards of 900 frames dropped after 2 minutes. What's up here? FF 9.0.1/ Mac OSX 10.6.8 Graphics Adapter Description 0x21a00,0x20400 WebGL RendererATI Technologies Inc. -- ATI Radeon HD 2600 OpenGL Engine -- 2.1 ATI-1.6.36 GPU Accelerated Windows 2/2 OpenGL
My bad. Firebug was causing the ridiculous amount of dropped frames. With Firebug disabled, I still get ~30 dropped frames per minute.

Simon, you had several other performance issues in the time frame this was reported. Do you still see this? (ahughes also)

What chiklit reported in comment #1 is basically the same as what I found on my laptop in bug 870650, and I think the situation actually got worse due to Flash's new sandbox process (which causes even more inter-process churn). My personal hypothesis is that it's a consequence of the way Flash, or perhaps Youtube's player, downloads and processes new data. If it's processing in a tight loop instead of limiting the throughput somehow, I can see how my laptop might have trouble keeping up with my 30 Mbps connection (especially with the data being exchanged between Firefox's main process, the plugin-container process and Flash's sandbox process). I don't know if this is the same problem as what Simon was reporting, though.

No I can't reproduce this anymore but I suspect the original circumstances of this bug are largely irrelevant now. Flash, Firefox, OSX, and Youtube are all very different than they were in 2011. That's not to say the bug is irrelevant but a lot has changed since then. Emanuel I don't think your bug report is the same issue as what was reported here over 2 years ago. This bug should probably just be resolved INCOMPLETE and a new one filed if a modern reproducible use case can be identified.
