Hi,
I am facing a weired issue while playing YouTube videos on KDE session of Fedora 17. The session freezes while videos are getting played. The issue is intermittant. Can anybody please help me on this?
Many Thanks, Nikhil Bhalwankar

You should at least say what video player you're using.

session freeze as in even mouse doesn't move? If so, almost certainly some sort of video driver hang/crash. Some questions to help answer better: 1. How were you watching/playing these videos exactly? 2. What video hardware/driver are you using?

Hi,
I have some similar problems with flash and the nvidia driver because of vdpau. According to nvidia devs on nvnews, adobe uses vdpau wrongly (swapped parameters in function calls).
The simplest soltion is to just delete /usr/lib64/vdpau/libvdpau_nvidia.so* (use lib instead of lib64 for 32 bit flash). The side effect is that vdpau will no longer work anywhere else, but for me that does not matter. It has to be done again when the nvidia driver is updated or reinstalled.

Instead of deleting that lib, try disabling hardware acceleration in Adobe's Flash settings (right clicking on a flash video -> Settings -> Display), this seems to stop it from using VDPAU altogether (that fixes a problem I had, the videos having the wrong hue, they look bluish).

Or just uninstall Flash (and use HTML 5, YouTube supports it for most videos), uninstall the nvidia driver (and use Nouveau), or both!
Why is everybody putting up with broken proprietary software?
