Yes, please do reinstall: sudo apt install i965-va-driver That will restore hardware-accelerated video decoding, and keep the system cooler :)
It now sounds like you have a general graphics/CPU/disk performance problem and this bug is not really specific to video playback. I assume this is a real and not virtual machine... Next please benchmark the disk you are playing from. You can do that in the 'Disks' app, or on the command line by running: sudo hdparm -t /dev/sda # or whatever the device is -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to mesa in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1774915 Title: Video freezes and stutters when using totem (audio continues fine) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1774915/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
