Thanks TJ for the infos. I'm asking you some more, as I don't seem to be able to reproduce the issue here.
- If you turn the compositing_manager to true again, do the problem reappear? - You mentioned in the first post that you had Intel graphics; but the bug report tool claims you have an ATI radeon mobility. Can you please clarify? Also, are you using any of the closed source drivers (e.g., fglrx)? - Is your laptop connected to the A/C power? I wonder if it's sluggish because of some power saving mode. - If you run "top" while watching a video, do you see other processes eating a good part of CPU power, besides the player? And how much CPU power is taken by the player itself? - If you run the player as fullscreen (from the very beginning), does the situation improve? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/852554 Title: Unity 2D Video Lags Everywhere To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-2d/+bug/852554/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
