Title: Hulu plays every other frame
Post by: laerm on March 09, 2011, 05:53:39 pm

Hey gang --

Has anyone else seen this? No kidding, Hulu drops a lot of frames. Netflix drops frames too, but it's only noticeable with quick pans. Hulu, on the other hand, it's like RealVideo circa 2001.

And yep, they both work fine outside of MC. Haven't tested v15 yet -- hadn't tried Hulu until v16. Should I install the old one and check it out or was Hulu not an option yet at that point?

Thanks --
Micah

PS: also, any thoughts on my post in the v15 board on making the video go fullscreen on tv but keeping the browser on the monitor?

It sounds like this problem:

In 16.0.49, you can try both IE and Chromium browser engines under Tools/Options/Tree and View.

It looks like this has pretty much sorted my problem. There's no weird framerate/drop issue now, just a buffer thing I can probably tweak. Thanks a bunch -- v16 is pretty solid so far. A big leap forward, I think. :)
