CPU runs at 100% when watching videos on YouTube.
I have been having problems watching videos from YouTube. When I do that, my CPU monitor shows 100%, and the videos get all choppy.
My computer specs are: Acer Aspire 5100-3372 Turion 64 2.0 MK-36 1 Gb Ram 100 Gb HDD ATI Radeon Xpress 1100 Using fglrx |
i don't doubt it, i find the Flash plugin to be a CPU hog too, i do not know of any remedy, but i do not use flash with firefox which seems to help a little, rather i use firefox without any plugins and lock it down with NoScript, and instead i use plugins with Mozilla's Seamonkey which handles plugins a little better than firefox and then only use Seamonkey rarely when i really want to watch a flash video at trusted websites...

Flash in SeaMonkey
Ok, now I have another question...
How do you get flash to work with SeaMonkey? I have flash installed, and it works with Firefox, but SeaMonkey doesn't recognize that it is installed. I tried to install it manually, through yast, and tried other way to get it to work, and couldn't. I had installed Firefox 3b5, but it worked basically same as Version 2 as far as flash. When I installed that, it didn't recognize the flash player, but following these instructions that I found on THIS forum, I created a shortcut so that it would recognize it, and it worked that way. I tried the same for SeaMonkey, and it didn't work. sudo ln -s /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.0b3/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so Note:I modified this command to match the directory on my computer. Is there anything similar that I could do to get SeaMonkey to recognize it? Any ideas would be appreciated. |
