Adobe Flash Player 10.1 pre-release

Post by irads »

Adobe has released beta version of Flash Player 10.1 with HW acceleration.
It works on fit-PC2 and improves playback frame rate in YouTube etc.
We tested under Windows XP and Windows 7. Performance difference under Windows 7 seems most significant.

The player can be obtained at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

I tried it with XP.

Playback is better but still not good. (watching game highlights on NFL.com)

Nice to finally see HW ACC in Flash player though.

I tried it on YouTube with Windows XP. All HD videos (both 720 and 1080) are maxing out the CPU. Non-flash HD videos (primarily h.264) work fine, and I am using the latest GMA driver provided on this site. HD flash videos (using 10.1) are not watchable at all. It seems like it's not even trying to use the GPU.

Any ideas? Can anybody else get 720 or 1080 videos on Youtube on their fit-PC2 boxes?

Thanks.

There is still no full utilization of GMA500 HW acceleration in the Flash 10.1 pre-release. We will announce when there is a version working better with fit-PC2.

I noticed that 10.1 beta 2 was released Dec 17th.

Does anyone know if this update plays 1080 H.264 in flash smoothly?

Thanks.

No, there is no better GMA500 support in beta 2.

Beta 3 was released today, and mentions better h.264 support for GMA 500. Is this worth checking out to se if it plays 720p or 1080p flash videos?
