Video post processing/quality control no longer works in flash player

[Dodgetimmy]

I use to watch videos via http://www.channel5.com and was able to use the post processing features in the AMD driver to improve the picture quality.

Now, it no longer works. Is this because hardware acceleration isn't working?

For a while I was able to use it in Internet Explorer, Sometimes in Firefox but never in Chrome. Now even with internet explorer it doesn't seem to work correctly.

I am using the latest flash versions for all platforms and the latest browser and driver version from AMD too.

Has Adobe changed something with the latest version of flash which cause a problem with the AMD Driver? Why is there no longer a Hardware Acceleration check-box in Internet Explorer?

I am using Windows 8.1 and I have the setting in the AMD CCC "apply current vdieo quality settings to internet video" checked. I have made sure in Firefox and Chrome hardware acceleration is enabled both in flash player settings and in the browser settings.

Thanks for any pointers you can give.

I don't know why you are asking that; it's still there on Internet Explorer with Flash Player 14.0.0.145:

But I am using an Intel graphics card; perhaps it's something to do with your AMD device?

It may be for you, but it isn't for me in Internet Explorer, by comparison though, there is the box available in Chrome and Firefox...although in Chrome it doesn't do anything.

I did some more testing; With Internet Explorer hardware acceleration seems to be dependant on the website you watch.

For example, using IE to visit http://www.dailymotion.com the post processing options work fine, but when on http://www.channel5.com they do not. Is there any reason why this is?

As for other browsers, it seems hardware acceleration just isn't working at all since post processing never works on chrome.

On Firefox it seems to behave the same way as IE, e.g it works on some sites but not others.

I thought I may be able to get around this by disabling the pepper flash player in chrome, but it doesn't seem to make any difference, either its still using the built-in one or it still doesn't work at all with hardware acceleration.

Either way none of these achieve what I was able too before, get hardware acceleration working with http://www.channel5.com .

Still nothing on this. How is one site working, but another not?

Why is hardware acceleration not working at all in Chrome?
