Despite lower resolutions, the video is still in 60fps - so it's keeping your machine twice as busy as "normal" video.
Quote:
Why doesn't HW acceleration work with IGPU?
The output (vainfo) suggests otherwise.
Your CPU Intel Pentium Gold G5400 is a 2-year old budget CPU; maybe it's just overwhelmed with that HD video?
Have you tried if local video file playback in a dedicated media player works better (the same video, if possible)?
That Pentium should support 4K video with its GPU - it has Intel UHD graphics just like the 'big' i7s and i9s. However, that assumes the video is in a codec/container that it can deal with, which may not be the case with YouTube content (which afaict is sort of becoming the 'wild west' with codecs in a post-Flash/h264 world). Try some local content in a supported codec (h264, h265, VC1 for example - all are listed in vainfo) and see what it does. The other thing I would check is: what frequency is the chip at when showing those loads? Modern CPUs don't just run at one frequency these days, and I know on most of my newer systems its not uncommon to see something like '50% load' from htop (or similar) but the chip is still sitting at idle clockspeed (roundabouts 1GHz, which even on newer CPUs is still 'not so very high performance').
That is huge to stream/play. That video is 250019 kb/s and 3840x2160
I played a little of that with mplayer in a dual core machine with no video hardware acceleration. That takes a 8MB/s internet speed. Also that video only used one of the processor cores. 100% on one, 0 on the other.

I downloaded a 4K video from https://jell.yfish.us/ specifically https://jell.yfish.us/media/jellyfis...k-uhd-h264.mkv.
My OS is Linux Mint 19.3 and the default video player is Celuloid 0.17.
When I run the video in Celluloid 0.17 the cpu is 100%.
When I run the video in kodi 18.9 the cpu is 15-20%.
Huh, that is weird.
What is KODI using as a playback backend? Maybe you should just use that as your main media player.
Also try with MPV and VLC.
But you should also check out your CPU/GPU's features. Sold new for 64$ in 2018, it can't be very powerful.
All sorts of corners could have been cut there.
Anecdotal: I have an intel CPU that supports HEVC but only partially (whatever that means) - playback is totally fine but stresses the CPU slightly more than h264, but not as much as on a GPU that doesn't support HEVC at all. Yeah, it's confusing.
Have a good read of this and go through those tests again.
Despite lower resolutions, the video is still in 60fps - so it's keeping your machine twice as busy as "normal" video.
The output (vainfo) suggests otherwise.
Your CPU Intel Pentium Gold G5400 is a 2-year old budget CPU; maybe it's just overwhelmed with that HD video?
Have you tried if local video file playback in a dedicated media player works better (the same video, if possible)?
I don't think so. I'm on an "old" PC with a similar card and I can play 60fps 1440p without any such issues, but then again I'm not using hw acceleration in Chrome.
I'm watching the same link as him and I barely even hear my CPU fan. Looking at activity, it's not that much, about what I would expect and plenty left. That's 1440p @ 60fps, it runs just fine, no HW accel. I can't play 4k, just choppy.

Could be noted that my computer steps up scaling (conservative governor) from 400mhz to the max 2.5ghz immediately. Makes me think this issue could be related to his CPU frequency scaling. I've had some issues with "turbo boost" on another computer, so I'm pretty much only using acpi-cpufreq and have a strong distaste for Intel_pstate (pee-state)
Perhaps the poster could check his cpu-frequency scaling situation during playback or give a hint about it in general:
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: intel_pstate
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.
hardware limits: 800 MHz - 3.70 GHz
available cpufreq governors: performance powersave
current policy: frequency should be within 800 MHz and 3.70 GHz.
The governor "powersave" may decide which speed to use
within this range.

I take it that is not while playing the video. But everything seems to be fine on that front, unless that is while you play the video..
