Leo Laporte Lisa Laporte Leo, there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with the recorded TWiT shows. This is what happens when I try to watch a show from the TWIT website.

 

This is a very serious problem. It only happens on the TWit Website, which leads me to think that it has to do with the way the shows are edited. 

 

I apologize for the quality, but I had to hand hold and point my crappy camera at the monitor.

George Kozi? I'm running 8.1 as well and I've noticed no problems with the few TWiT shows I've watch from the website (not my preferred method) on either Firefox or Chrome.

 

Have you noticed any specific shows doing it more than others? Does it happen every time?

 

Maybe I was just lucky with the few I did watch on the website? Just trying to get some more info!

Ryan Kelly if the browser isn't doing what I'd want it to do, I'd absolutely dump it in a heartbeat, be it Chrome, Firefox, Moasic, IE, whatever... the browser should be able to do what you need it to.

 

George Kozi you may want to try downloading the files and playing in VLC (or other local video player)    That would at least exonerate either Chrome or TWiT editors.

George Kozi - I too had this issue.  I think it was a version of Chrome I was using with Windows 10 preview. I could load it in Firefox, same episode same link and it would be fine. I wasn't sure if was it was Win10 Preview or Chrome???  Anyway, I DL'd Chrome Canary and it was fine.  Now on Chrome 41.0.2272.76 the 'green screen' issue has disappeared.   I only noticed on Twit for a period of time.  The problem is gone now, so my only recommendation would be try different browsers.

It looks like a Chrome issue. The SublimeVideo player is just a bit of code which invokes an HTML5 player (which Chrome handles without Flash or anything else like that). The video is the regular H.264 which most graphics cards can decode in hardware.

 

The green screen points to an overlay issue, which could be graphics drivers (upgraded recently?) or a possible issue with Chrome.

 

Try loading the page in a Chrome Incognito window (Ctrl+Shift+N) and see if it still does it. If not, it could be another Extension causing problems. If it still does it, try upgrading graphics card drivers if you've not done so for a long time. If you HAVE upgraded recently, downgrade!

 

Also try some other HTML5 videos, including YouTube (you may not have the HTML5 player as default, check at https://www.youtube.com/html5 )

 

Good luck...
