My Apologies if this is a repeat thread.

I work out of two physical locations and PC1 does not stream the 720p profile in the chrome browser however PC2 does. I have looked over the two and their respective setup and chrome versions and I am not seeing anything that shouts out the source problem. Has anyone else had issues with this? I can stream in Jpeg HD but prefer to use the 720p profile.
 
To add to my troubleshooting steps.
Yes, I have:
1. Reset the browser and blew out the cache
2. Uninstall/reinstall google chrome.
3. Checked chrome://flags and played around with enabling the native client and the h264 ffmpeg decoder options. No dice btw....

I'm about a stone's throw from reimaging the computer. It pretty much works on my other site PC and I have also setup some Raspberry Pi 3 viewer stations and they work just fine too in Chromium from default install.
 
Thanks Tony. I stepped through uninstalling my AV and also disabling Windows Defender. No dice. It still chokes. Odd thing is my site 2 PC runs the same AV, etc... and it is fine.
I disabled windows firewall as well, no change.
 
They don't call it Winduhhs for nothing. Sounds like time to try a re-install of the OS.
 
Yep yep, i reinstalled Winderps as well and it did not work. Works great in *NIX though.... Like I said, my Rasberry Pi runs it like a boss out of the box.
 
Out of curiosity, did you do a clean "install" from media?
 
Yes, I installed from scratch and blew out the HDD formatting, etc... Pure vanilla install. I downloaded the latest version of chrome and went straight to testing.
 
Have you tried the JavaScript player? It is the simplest option (but also far less efficient) and is more likely to work when the other player modes do not.
 
I'm out of ideas other than replace the whole box.
 
I was really hoping to use UI3 since it is super sweet, and I do use it, I just have to use the JPEG HD stream. For some reason the 720P and like streams don't render. I just get a half spun loading circle and then nothing. What boggles the mind is that the 720P mode worked for quite a while and then just up and stopped about a month ago.
 
I think chrome uses the sub stream. could be wrong. I had streams going to my phone that I could never get to clean up, they were just shortcuts to the address in chrome. they were all subs.
 
Oh my, I am about to lose it.

I tested it in the Edge browser.
...
......
It works like a champ.


Nothing is supposed to work in Edge! WTH Chrome! :banghead:
 
I'm having no issues in Chrome. I set the UI3 for the 2160P resolution option so all the cameras can stream in their native resolution. I use twelve 1500P cameras and two 720P cameras.
 
Well in case anyone cares, I did figure it out eventually. I had to disable "hardware acceleration" in Chrome under advanced settings. Once I did that, it started streaming no issues.
