NPAPI Flash beta 19.0.0.209

AMD Catalyst Display Driver 15.9.1 Beta

Windows 8.1


Watching the following stream on Source quality causes the AMD GFX driver to stop responding and recover itself. The transcoded lower quality streams play just fine, Flash/AMD doesnt like the Source encoding.

Stable PPAPI Flash plays the stream fine without crashing.

Since the stream isnt live anymore here is a VOD to reproduce:

Again, Source quality crashes the display driver. I have also managed to get a Bluescreen when watching videos using Flash, you did something in the latest betas AMD drivers really dont like.

I'd be happy to open a bug with AMD. 

The dxdiag report from your machine would be really useful. 

There are instructions at the bottom of the video troubleshooting guide on how to provide it.
