Any media (video or audio) plays weirdly from browser or from apps when the current build of foldit (devprev or main) is open, particularly when a complex (ED, symmetry) puzzle is open. This started happening a few versions of foldit ago (and a few versions of the Mac OS ago as well). Only solution is not to open such sites/apps when playing foldit. This happens on my new Mac and happened on the old one (old was a quad core iMac, new is an 8 core iMac Pro). Updated to latest version of OS yesterday and it still happens.
Anyone else experiencing this?
I'm going to test by hooking up external DVD player whether it happens when actually playing media from local drive, this might be a clue (if the scrambling is only streamed media, for example)
Update: Found a fix that appears to work (at least for now) details at bottom of thread below… adjusting Flash settings in the System Preferences. Need to test it with Symmetry puzzle… ah look we have a new one, will report back when I've tested.
Also doing some other troubleshooting (disconnecting an external drive to be sure something isn't happening there to cause this)
Happens for all media… cd doing the same thing (skipping forward through the CD). Stops instantly when I quit all foldit clients.
Adding foldit to the Flash Player Peer-assisted Networking sites (in system preferences, Flash Player) seems to have solved the issue.
nope - no issues - get a smaller machine :)
