Browsers stuttering when streaming football *


 I have been watching BT sport for many years using a PC to stream via Chrome or Edge. In the last month or so both browser have developed problems, the stream keeps stuttering and the event becomes unwatchable. I use Windows 10 (fully up to date with updates), also both browsers are latest versions. 

Firefox offers a better watch, no stuttering.

I have removed all extensions in Chrome and that made no change to the stuttering. I am on a 200mB download from VM so speed is not an issue, can stream 4K on Netflix with no issues.

Any ideas what can be causing this issue.

Decent PC build, specs can be found here 


The problem is hardware acceleration, turning it off fixes the issue.

Connecting an ONVIF camera to Xeoma Video Surveillance app using a Raspberry PI 4.  This is my first project using the Raspberry PI 4.  Check out other projects here After suffering a lot of disconnections with the ONVIF camera I have now connected the camera using a LAN cable. I suspect outside the house the WiFi signal is not that strong. The connection is now 100% and had no dropouts.

Tried this app using Windows 10 Tried many menu items which mostly fail....This one "Time settings" fails.

I n the last week or so I have started having problems when watching BT sports using Chrome or Microsoft Edge. This method has worked fine for me for a few years now so something has changed. The stream seems to have a problem of some kind, keeps buffering, stuttering etc. My broadband speed is 200mB/s so no bandwidth problem. I have found a solution to this but would like a fix. If I use Firefox web browser the stream is rock solid and works fine without and stuttering. This seems to imply that Chrome or Edge are managing the stream differently. By the way I also stream using Sky Go and that works fine. After messing around with chrome, extensions and many other things it turns out that Hardware Video Acceleration was the culprit. Turning Hardware Acc off fixed the stuttering problem. You can turn off Vid Acc from the chrome settings menu, then the option is hidden in the system tab "Use H...
