What are you playing the video in? What codec is the video encoded in? What GPU are you using?

Make sure the video is H.264. That GPU will not hardware decode newer codecs like H.265, AV1, and VP9.

Give mpv a twirl. At the very least, it has nice stats under the “i” key.

Right now, I’m struggling with “how does my 5ghz 20 core latest gen intel processor manage to drop frames?” Sometimes the answer is just that computers suck 🤷

I had the same issue. What I found is that when I run gnome or KDE, I don’t get any dropped frames. XFCE, Openbox setups, Cinnamon & Mate on the other hand all had the frame drop issue. I managed to fix it in XFCE through playing around with the compositor settings, no luck in any of the other DEs tho.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
