Streaks/Pixelation While Playing Movies in Chrome

[Scott750 29]

When playing movies in Chrome, all of my movies are experiencing this streaking that flashes across the screen over the movie for a split second every 5 - 15 seconds. This started happening after the 3.5.2.0 update. Movies played in Emby Theater don't have this issue.

Is this only happening with interlaced content?

[Scott750 29]

I'm not sure. I was playing mkv Blu-ray rips. I can test with an mkv DVD rip to check?

[Luke 42083]

That would be great, thanks.

I played several DVD mkv movies and did not see the streaking. Seems to only be isolated to my Blu-ray mkv's.

Have you tried lowering the in-app quality setting?

 

You may also want to look at chrome settings in regards to hardware acceleration during video playback.

Lowering video quality from Auto-1080p 60Mbps to 1080p-20 Mbps does play without streaking. Does this mean my network can't handle that amount of bandwidth? My HTPC is running wired gigabit networking . Although it's connected to a 5 port gigabit switch before going to the router.

Yes that is a possible explanation.
