[BUG] <Video Stutter, or any motion/animation playback stutters. Chromium, Chrome, FF stutter>

[MxD-js]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current Behavior

I've tried various flavors of the webtop image, the latest tag, and arch-kde, el-mate and others in between all appear to do the same.

I have 60 FPS and even have 144 FPS if I increase the FPS, I have the encoder set to x264. I tried other encoders and tried to tweak the video settings but while the video is playing, i.e youtube, or really any animation or moving object every second there is a stutter, over and over again, every second.

What can I do to tweak so I get smooth video playback.

Expected Behavior

smooth video playback.

Steps To Reproduce

I'm using this docker compose, pretty much copy and paste from the webtop how-to.

1. Launch Chromium, or Chrome, FF any browser and open a animation, video or anything that moves.
2. Observe every seccond there is a stutter. A pause if you will then motion resumes, it happens every second, over and over again.

Environment

- OS: PRETTY_NAME="Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS"
- How docker service was installed:

Thanks for opening your first issue here! Be sure to follow the relevant issue templates, or risk having this issue marked as invalid.

Update: Added a video to show what I am experiencing. I'm accessing webtop from a macbok pro M1 with 32gb of ram. I tried brave and safari, chrome all do the same thing.

Here's a video link.

if you close the sidebar it will help a lot, we explicitly disable a bunch of browser logic when it is closed to fix microstutters.

Apple metal webcodecs support also sucks this is kind of known, hopefully the iOS 26 update fixes some of their driver issues.

Many vectors here even the DRI3 support at very high resolutions.

As far as me "doing something" about this I would not expect any changes geared to performance for some time, I am not missing anything explicit that will be a silver bullet for you.

AMD DRI3 support seems to work the best while Intel tends to suck more.

https://files.catbox.moe/qqudbm.mp4 (this is cpu encoding without turbo using 50% of one of my cores and AMD DRI3 acceleration server side)

I would assume as this is a macbook that is like 4k resolution as well, again lots of variables. Also DRI3 for desktop app acceleration is only for the apps and not for the actual encoding as Vaapi is buggy right now, nvenc helps a lot server side as well.

[MxD-js]

Thanks. I closed the side bar but still get the micro stutters. I lowered the resolution in the side bar to 1280x720 to try it at a lower resolution and no change,

I tried also removing DRI3 from the docker compose and use CPU only. The docker host as 20 cores, no change to the stuttering. I toggled CPU Encoding in the side and no change.

Link to the video after the sidebar closed and lowered resolution to 1280x720.

I see there are many options for pixelflux. Is there a way I can tweak these settings? Would it help playing with them? Or what would you recommend I try?.

I think everything you are experiencing is clientside tbh.
Stuff like 4:4:4 does not work on apple metal, I have an a16 ipad and it is flawless with 4:4:4 support but every "performance" issue that pops up seems to be you apple jockeys.

Try disabling hardware acceleration in your browser, in chromium this is in system settings.

Hmmm.

Well, confirmed it is client side. I dusted off my windows 11 laptop and buttery smooth even on the highest settings.

Thanks for looking into this issue. I'll play around with my client side and see if I can get it going on the MacBook Pro. For now windows will work. Also buttery smooth on iPhone. Just something with my MacBook Pro.

I'll close this for now.

Open a thread or something with Apple, it never made sense to me that they will dump billions into "liquid glass" and then spend zero dollars on drivers and basic shit. Call them out publicly if enough people do maybe they will actually invest in development again instead of stock buybacks.

Maybe this is relevant in this scenario.

I used a Windows device with an i7-1185G7 and Xe Graphics, and also experienced this issue.

@MxD-js Can you try measuring Performance from the Developer panel with your Mac?

[ehfd]

For instance, something like this. @MxD-js

Sure @ehfd Here's a comparison between Windows and Mac.

Windows:

Mac:
