isidro666 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Here's a video I found that explains "How to Disable Hardware acceleration of Flash Player to avoid Video Buffering" I use Mozilla Firefox as web browser and I never changed anything in windows media player (or in wmp classic from K-lite that I'am currently using as a default player) Installed programs on my computer (that may have an influence?)... Adobe Flash Player 13 Plugin Adobe Flash Player 13 ActiveX Mozilla Firefox 26.0 (x86 sv-SE) K-Lite Codec Pack 9.9.5 (standard) Intel Graphics Driver 10.18.10.3574 (Ultimarc ArcadeVGA 3000 drivers) Windows 7 64 bit Ultimate Hardware: Gigabyte Z87N-WIFI Intel Core i5-4670K [email protected] (Intel HD Graphics 4600) (No graphic card installed) With google chrome I could not apply the fix. I've applied accessing youtube with Internet Explorer. Now the videos displayed correctly on the Intel Pentium G3420. Nor did any change in Windows Media Player. Thanks.
dougan78 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 In windows 8 flash is built into the browser. There should be an option in internet explorer to disable hardware excelleration. Or what ever your default browser is..
ltjrocks77 Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 The fix worked! Finally i have Hyperspin on my HTPC! Thanks
Karakandao Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 In windows 8 flash is built into the browser. There should be an option in internet explorer to disable hardware excelleration. Or what ever your default browser is.. This does not work. :-( Curiously without touching anything in the hyperpause the videos work good.
dougan78 Posted June 24, 2014 Posted June 24, 2014 I directed you over here in the hopes you had win7. Looks like you may need a different card yet. Or you install windows 7. Bummer I know. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
dougan78 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Ok, I need one of you Windows 8 People to test this out. I read the admin guide for flash on Windows 8 here: http://wwwimages.adobe.com/www.adobe.com/content/dam/Adobe/en/devnet/flashplayer/pdfs/flash_player_13_0_admin_guide.pdf And found that it can take a mms.cfg file with this in it: DisableHardwareAcceleration = 1 So make a mms.cfg with note pad put DisableHardwareAcceleration = 1 in it and save it Here: %WINDIR%\SysWow64\Macromed\Flash and Here: %WINDIR%\System32\Macromed\Flash Close everything. Launch hyperspin and see if the vids play. Long shot... When you make the mms.cfg you may need to save it to the desktop and then copy it into the above folders fyi.
MonkeyJug Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 @dougan78 tried that out on my windows 8.1 laptop and it didn't work - videos are still garbled. (using intel driver 10.18.10.3621 on HD4000 gpu)
dougan78 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 Sorry it didn't work. I was hopeful. Unfortunately there is no way to see if it took affect. I am sure you rebooted too. I don't use windows 8 on my cab so couldn't test. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk

I don't use windows 8 on my cab so couldn't test.Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk There's an option in Internet Options -> Advanced -> Accelerated Graphics "Use software rendering instead of GPU rendering". That changes the HTML renderer, but given the embedded nature of Flash, it wouldn't surprise me if they pick up that setting for Flash rendering, too. I have an external card in parallel with the HD4000 on here, so I can't easily test it, but someone should try toggling that.
dougan78 Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 I tested the mms.cfg autoupdate settings on a win 8 laptop and it did take those so I can only assume it does disable hardware acceleration and that while that is a fix for win7 that it is not a fix for win8. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
Karakandao Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 I solved* in Windows 8!! - Download directx control panel from http://www.majorgeeks.com/Microsoft_DirectX_Control_Panel_d4017.html - Extract and run directx.cpl as administrator. - Click Direct3D tab and uncheck "Allow hardware acceleration ". No need restart Windows. * The videos work, but some emulators don't work... :-(
Benzinbruder Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 The fix worked! Finally i have Hyperspin on my HTPC!Thanks Do you use a dedicated video card or do you just rely on the HD 4xxx unit? Also, does HLSL work in MAME after disabling hardware acceleration at all? Edit: Hooray, it works. I had to disable flash hardware acceleration in IE; Disabling it in Chrome did not make the change.
evilmurray Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Any news on this subject? I am running Windows 8.1 on a Mac Mini with the Intel HD4000 chipset and experiencing issues with scrambled videos too. Tried Karakandao's tips, but then Snes9x stopped working. Not possible to disable direct3D just for HyperSpin?
AndyBak Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Experiencing the same issue with my new setup, any way to disable without completely screwing all hardware acceleration?
Benzinbruder Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 You just have to disable hardware acceleration for Adobe Flash! Right-click a flash video in Internet Explorer (don't use Chrome for this) and disable hardware acceleration.
AndyBak Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 You just have to disable hardware acceleration for Adobe Flash!Right-click a flash video in Internet Explorer (don't use Chrome for this) and disable hardware acceleration. Oh right, didn't realise it was just for flash (thought it was all video hardware acceleration). Disabled it shall be! Thanks.
AndyBak Posted July 23, 2014 Posted July 23, 2014 I spoke too soon, I'm using Win8.1 so this fix isn't possible.
AndyBak Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 Any further ideas on how I can resolve this on Win 8.1?
dougan78 Posted July 27, 2014 Posted July 27, 2014 I think this one has been exhausted by all the techies on here. If you have a intel hd 4000+ Use win7 or less Want windows 8 or 8.1 get a different video card. That is the ultimate conclusion I have drawn from all of this. And the issue is a intel problem not hs or anything else afaik.
twmac Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I spoke too soon, I'm using Win8.1 so this fix isn't possible. I am windows 8.1 the youtube disable hardware acceleration fix worked for me but I didn't do it through explorer I used firefox.
Karakandao Posted August 4, 2014 Posted August 4, 2014 I am windows 8.1 the youtube disable hardware acceleration fix worked for me but I didn't do it through explorer I used firefox. THANKS!!!, installed Firefox, disable hardware aceleration in YouTube, reboot and WORK IN WINDOWS 8!!!!
