YouTube Videos Extremely Choppy (Ubuntu 15.04)

AI Thread Summary
Users experiencing choppy YouTube video playback on Ubuntu 15.04, particularly with an Nvidia Geforce 8200 graphics card, have suggested several troubleshooting steps.

When watching videos on Ubuntu 15.04, youtube videos are being EXTREMELY choppy. HTML5 player is on, and it's still choppy. I turned off hardware acceleration, and same result. It's getting to the point where it's annoying.

4. Find a download utility and media player, download the full video and watch it on the media player. This is actually less hassle than it sounds.

(I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
