Full Version: [Issue] Hardware acceleration not working in v3.4.3.39
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Hello!

In CentBrowser v3.1.5.52 I was able to play embedded Vimeo videos without any problems.
Today I updated to CentBrowser v3.4.3.39 and the same video shows a black screen. Only the audio is working. I have to disable hardware acceleration to make it work. 
Why the same video works in v3.1.5.52 and doesn't work in v3.4.3.39?

I also tried clearing cache, cookies, etc. and rebooting the computer.
This should be a bug of hardware acceleration.
Have you tested the same URL in Chrome 66?
Can you post your GPU information in chrome://gpu?
Thank you for your reply!

I don't have Chrome 66, so I haven't tested it.

Here is the report from chrome://gpu

Have you tried updating your video card driver?
@CentBrowser : I have the latest driver. The problem is that it was working with previous version of CentBrowser, so I don't understand why it's not working with the new version.
