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.
 
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.
