SMPlayer Support Forum

I got Smplayer, everythings working fine except when a video is playing in the background and im browsing in chrome. Just using the scrollbar causes smplayer in the background to stutter.
Any way of fixing it?

I do not think it's a smplayer / mplayer issue but rather a chrome - OS one, is it by any chance v11 ?

I did see a similar video-related issue on a friend's pc with chrome when after using chrome for a while with youtube vids and other normal websites, when closing or minimizing chrome the Win Desktop stayed "painted-over" with chrome's window.

IIRC since v10 they use video hardware acceleration (webGL) which is also used by mplayer vo so they maybe conflict.

Firefox 4 uses it too but not forced.

Could you try to see if this also happens if you disable it: http://blog.laptopmag.com/enable-hardwa ... -firefox-4
