SMPlayer comes with an accessory called SMTube to play YouTube videos locally. Start smplayer, then use Options > Preferences and select "mpv" as the "engine" from the General tab and "vdpau" as the Output Driver in the Video tab. If you don't have any, you can get some samples here. Install smplayer and mpv ("sudo apt install smplayer mpv") and try to play a 720p or 1080p video file. Everything plays at the best-available resolution. I have a GTX 750 with the most recent driver available for 14.04 installed - 375.39, the same as you. If it was not enabled, that change will probably fix the problem. Check the box to enable hardware acceleration if it is not checked. Open a YouTube video in full-screen mode, right-click on the image, and choose Settings. Last edited by fund_raiser June 18th, 2017 at 01:01 AM. My CPU is E2220, 2 GB DDR2, brand new graphics GT710. What shall I do? What does it look like on your machines? Shall I switch from Lubuntu to Ubuntu? Will it change anything. So what is Lubuntu for? For typing letters? If it doesn't use HA (hardware acceleration) then even pages load slower. I think the problem is the driver and poor support of it on Linux.Īfter digging I found as stated above linux do not support hardware acceleration. In my case when I play 720p video on you-tube the CPU usage is 100% and the picture hangs every few seconds, whereas on win 7 the CPU usage is 10%(!). So you can't use Lubuntu on older machines to play 720p video. I did try both proprietary and none-proprietary nvidia driver, but to no avail. Then I bought a discrete graphics card to fix the problem. I used to use integrated graphics but I found that I can't play 720p on you-tube. As a result to play hd video you need good CPU. What I mean is that linux uses CPU to play hd videos it doesn't use graphics card.
However as I have learned Linux does not support hardware acceleration, and as a result you can't watch hd videos on you-tube because the graphics card is not used as it should be.
My machine is not totally old as it is about 9 years.
