Hi,
I'm trying out MorphOS 3.9 in Powerbook and it seems to work quite nicely.
However, youtube videos simply won't play very well. I'm using OWB 1.24 with youtube full screen fix.
In full screen mode the html5 videos play slightly better but still even with the lowest 360 pixel -quality they only play ok for about 1-2 seconds and then it stops for a second or two and then continues again.
I'm using the native resolution 24bit 1440x960.
Is there something I can do to improve this since at the moment browsing youtube is unusable?
... Or is this hardware just too old to do this?
Sounds like you have a slow network connection, if it plays fine for some seconds (cpu isn't probably at max either?) and then halts. Are you using the internal WLAN? BTW. which Powerbook model it is (CPU speed)?
If it's about the network spees as I suspect, using an Atheros5xxx card in cardbus slot or wired connection would help. Anyway, if you have >1GHz machine, Youtube videos should play just fine in full screen mode.
