Chrome having problems with YouTube.

[PsyCoil]

Hello there,
I've been facing that problem for quite some time and have been changing browsers like I'm changing socks to find the most comfortable one for me. I found out that it was Chrome, but it's giving me some issues with YouTube playback. This does not happen on all the videos, only on very specific few from what I can tell but I don't want to switch browsers just so I could listen to a good song.
So, when I try to load this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lGJY-MYMq8
The circle just stops moving and the entire page freezes and if I try to scroll the page the page smears all over the current open tab. I can still Chrome, I just can't play that song. I'm now after a fresh install of 10.9.2 and the problem presists.

I have tried both HTML5 and the default flash player offered by YouTube but this happen with both.

Both Safari and Firefox load that video just fine.

Any help would be appreciated.

WHAT THE HELL LOL, I just checked your link and it does the same for me. This creeped me the **** out because in 1 year of having a hackintosh I've never experienced anything remotely similar... Let's blame it on the video.

EDIT:

I just realized I'm on Windows ATM, LOL. This is even weirder. Just giggled at myself.

Guess it's a nasty chrome issue, indeed, nothing wrong with your hackintosh.

I don't think it's an issuse with the video, I'm playing that video just fine on Safari and Firefox but the FPS on Safari and Firefox is just killing me. I'm getting 25 FPS on some videos, where Chrome gives me 30 on all videos.
Video doesn't load in Windows using Chrome, but Firefox handles the video just fine.

Maybe mess with the flash settings in chrome://plugins/.

Any directions on which settings to change?

Here's is the log from chrome://gpu :

video works fine on chrome. anybody got problems with flashplayer on safari, freezes my build when watching video.

 

[PsyCoil]

Really strange... I'm liking Safari so far, but the fps isn't as good as Chrome. How do I improve the FPS on YouTube videos? On some it's 25 and on some 30-32. It's always 30 on Chrome.
