Hi,I've a brand new asus zenbook UX305 with windows 10Now I've noticed an issue with firefox's videos in terms of stuttering and lagging. At first it was only on fullscreen but after going into safe mode it's been doing it even on smaller videos. This applies to all my usual streaming sites including youtube. I do not have any of these issues on Microsoft edge but being a long time Firefox user, I have no intentions of switching if I can help it. I've tried disabling hardware accelerating. I've checked for latest drivers. I've got into safe mode and disabled my addons (Only adblocker and noscript)

Does this occur on any specific websites? By stutter, do you mean the video is loading choppily? Sometimes, this can be due to a bandwidth issue.. have you tried pausing the video for a few minutes then going back to it?

No it stutters during playback. Even if the video is 100% loaded. It happens on any streaming site (YouTube.com, arkvid, vidto.me, gorillavid.in, etc.) VLC 1080p videos in the regular player work fine. I checked Chrome and that also works just fine. No issues in playback. It loads properly Andrew but the playback is choppy and it sometimes loops small fragments over. So after about 2 minutes the audio is obviously desynced from the video.

I have tried that as well. As I mentioned in my original post, I tried disabling hardware acceleration, running safe mode, and even gone though to disable hardware acceleration specifically for flash.I have updated all drivers. I checked updates on plugins etc as well.

Thanks for your time Andrew. I will go through individual settings per the links you suggested and see how that goes. A quick glossover indicates I have tried most of these after reading other posts with complaints of similar issues but I shall give them all a try once more and see if there's anything I have by chance missed.

OBS Studio is a powerful video recording and live streaming software. You can use it to create multiple scenes for streams, record favorite clips from movies and shows, or use it to apply filters to your camera.

If you need to remove other elements from the footage, you can use video editing software like Adobe Premiere, Final Cut Pro, Apple iMovie, Wondershare Filmora, or any other editing tool that supports video cropping.

If you need to watch with friends, co-workers, or other people, you can use online platforms that offer screen-sharing features, instead of recording. This allows for synchronized viewing experience without the need for post-recording editing.

Disabling hardware acceleration in browsers is the simplest route to record without a black screen. However, you can also take advantage of powerful third-party screen recorders like OBS Studio, Streamlabs, and Bandicam.

Turning off hardware acceleration on your browser may lead to performance issues when browsing other sites. This affects some website features that rely on accelerated graphics like 3D pictures and animations.

You need reliable screen recording software to record your favorite movies and TV series on Netflix without having to deal with a black screen.Bandicam allows you to capture a specific area of your computer screen and record Netflix movies for over 24 hours.

To record Netflix without having to deal with a black screen, use screen recording software and uncheck the [Use hardware acceleration when available] option in Edge or Chrome. If a user plays a Netflix video with Edge or Chrome while using the hardware acceleration function, the user will only see a black screen on the recorded video.

Netflix is the world's largest online video streaming service and domestic DVD-by-mail delivery service. By the end of 2021, it had over 214 million paid subscribers throughout 190 countries.

Netflix has become increasingly popular due to its catalog of hundreds of shows and movies, which users can watch anytime and anywhere. Moreover, the recommendations system helps users find shows and movies with minimal effort.

Trust Bandicam with your recording solutions. Record Netflix videos without sluggish, disrupted, or poor video content! Avoid the dreaded black screen and rely on Bandicam for incredible results. The latest version of Bandicam is compatible with Windows Vista, 7, 8, and 10.

To record Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Udemy, or Spectrum TV, users have to uncheck the "Use hardware acceleration when available" option in Edge/Chrome or use Firefox. If a user plays a Netflix video with Edge or Chrome while using the hardware acceleration function, the user will only see a black screen on the recorded video. If you use Firefox, please start Bandicam before you start Firefox. If Bandicam is running, Bandicam will shut off the overlay output and you will not have the black screen issue.

I've seen several questions about this, but never an answer. On several streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, Paramount, etc, I was getting a black screen with no video and could only hear the audio. I use Chrome, but checked Safari and was also getting the issue. I followed all of the troubleshooting steps on Netflix's website; still nothing. However, I found a fix so I wanted to share:

Unfortunately, this doesn't help my issue at all. I have been struggling with this ever since I bought a MacBook Pro. This issues happens with Hulu, Paramount+, Peacock, etc. I can't rely on my Mac to stream video. I have to get my iPad Pro for that ?. I tried Safari, Chrome, and Edge and issue is the same every time. I think this is a Mac related issue rather than a browser issue. I am going to contact apple support on this and will update here.

I have been struggling with this forever and couldn't figure out why it was so intermittent. I finally figured out why on my system it was happening. I use multiple screens and will stream while I work. While working I sometimes need to create a video of my screen so I'll pause the streaming, and open up Camtasia to record my screen. If any screen recording software is open all the streaming services will only show black screen with audio. Make sure you have any software that records your screen is closed out. For me that is Snagit, Camtasia, Vidyard, ect.

I had similar problem. I have macbook2023 connected to monitors through dell d6000 universal docking station. Since dell uses DisplayLink technology.. as soon as I connect MacBook to docking station .. currently running Netflix video turns blank with audio streaming on...

I have also been struggling with this forever too. It started again this morning and thankfully found this post. I had my iPad plugged in as a monitor and it turns out this was the cause! Can't believe I'd never noticed this correlation either. Thanks for solving this mystery!

So it was a crashed background process which led to the black screen issue. The Mac even said "Your screen is being observed" at the user login. That may could happen with similar recording software / screen recordings as well.

Just talked to thew Apple Tech support and got a resolution. This is happening due to an interference from one of the "Login items" load during the startup and running in the background. In my case, it was the DisplayLink drive I have installed to support multiple monitors. When I disable the DisplayLink, the issue was resolved immediately. If you don't use DisplayLink, you can troubleshoot the issue by starting Mac in the Safe Mode. Please follow steps below.

Please stream videos in the SafeMode and see if the issue exists. If you can watch videos in the Safe Mode, then issues is with one of the login items and/or extension you have installed. Please restart the Mac. After that, start disabling login items one-by-one to find the defective item.

oh man, but this doesn't help much if you don't use chrome at all and you are still getting the black screen. this is such a puzzle and I am really really surprised no one has found causes and fixes for this yet. like its happening at least twice a month for me now on any streaming that isn't Netflix and I ONLY use safari.(but I still checked the others and they all have same prob too) I have done so much troubleshooting, restarting, turning off any ad blockers and pop up blockers, clearing cache (pain the the rear too that one), and logging in and out of everything all the way to restarting the internet and computer for a full restart cycle. I just wanted to watch some wheel of time on my day off. surely, someone out there knows why this is happening? (MacBook Pro with M1 and Ventura)

Same issue. Was able to make the changes in Chrome and am able to have both sound and video when screen mirroring to TV. Still black screen when trying to screen mirror movie purchased from Apple TV from Mac to TV. Works perfectly when using iPad. Odd.

Was trying to Chromecast Screen or Apple Mirroring The Matrix on Max.com and filter it via ClearPlay but the video was not showing up only the audio... Tried updating/upgrading chrome, ClearPlay extension and nothing... Came across this amazing apple community post and BAM... was able to Chromecast Screen or Apple Mirroring with video and audio... Thanks for taking the time to post.
