Video 'artifacting' in Chrome for 7 seconds, black video in Edge and IE for 7 seconds (Facebook, YouTube...












3















This is something I've noticed on Facebook mainly, and I believe it's caused by Windows 10 upgrade + latest AMD 15.7 drivers, because those are the only two things that have really been changed recently that could affect it.



 



So, what is going on?



 



Chrome



Well, on Chrome there is weird video artifacting; when video starts playing the colors seem to be shifted, some negative, whilst most of the video is black, and then video continues to play normal after 7 seconds.



Edge



Microsoft Edge is something I've never tried using, but now I did for testing purposes. The result is that videos, on Facebook at least, play completely black for 7 seconds and then continue playing normally, just like on Chrome. The main difference is that the video is completely black in the beginning, there is no strange artifacting.



Internet Explorer



IE has the same black screen like Edge happening for the same amount of time as the two above. However, on IE the video freezes on 7th second for maybe 2 seconds, and then continues to play normally after.



 



So, how do I play first 7 seconds normally then? Well, I have to start the video, then just drag the player line back to the beginning or restart the video then it plays normally.



 



I've also noticed this on some GIFs on Imgur too. Some GIFs in Chrome have that artifacting for 7 seconds if not viewed in full screen/separate tab in Chrome.



This also seems to be happening on YouTube Gaming (YouTube's livestreaming service to compete with Twitch). The artifacting is there for about 7 seconds and then it goes away. I've noticed that artifacting sometimes just happens in the facecam of the user, whilst gameplay is intact for those 7 seconds of artifacting.



 



I have absolutely no idea what exactly is causing this or what the issue may be.

I had the same issue.



You can get rid of the problem by disabling hardware acceleration in Chrome Settings -> advanced settings -> untick "use hardware acceleration when available".



It's not a perfect solution, however, because not having HW acceleration enabled often causes WebGL crashes for me in Chrome. But maybe that's specific to my setup, you might not have that problem.



I hope this helps.
