When I first got my N900 the first thing I did was watching videos on these sites.
The playback wasn't bad, and after sending the video in full-screen it was close to perfect.
The only thing lowering the quality was the ADblock plugin.

Now the stuttering is unbearable and the A/V sync is a total mess... what happened?

I cleared the cache, set it to auto, Java script pausing is set to immediately, tried with off too.

What more can there be done?
Overall the browsing experience has improved greatly... besides this...

Again I want to remind the community that the media player plugin should allow us to play videos from these sites in the media payer!

Others:
I reflashed the emmc and the flashed PR 1.1

Also:
Even when the video is loading, (before even pressing play) the CPU spikes at maximum load all the time (cpu-mem applet)

Please post your results, I consider filing a new bug.

Seems to be fine for me. I don't make a lot of use of video sites, but I have a bookmark on my 'fun' screen to this vid.

If nothing else, you made me watch it again, which always makes me smile (especially since it's so perfectly true to the original).

Can you supply a link to one you're having problems with?

As for youtube, I just clicked the first thing I saw on the hompeage, for testing.

I'm now uninstalling abiword, reposuitory checker and any other new things I tried out today.

Mine works like a charm. Maybe worth reflashing? Are you trying things from the devel rep? if you are, then these could be the source of any issues. its not the update anyway, because it would be more widespread

As I recall megavideo and dailymotion sucked for me prior to the update as well. Youtube functions just fine. If anything faster.

Documenting on cold flash. I want the device as pristine as the day I got it.

I know this is the windows-redneck approach but I don't know what lurks in my phone.
I just want it gone
