Description
Hi to all, Since a few weeks I have a brand new computer with 8gb RAM so I installed Virtual box. Created a few VM,s and all was playing well. Last week I upgraded the host to Windows 10, since than, the VM's in Virtualbox react poor and when playing youtube or movies, it seems if the data is coming through an old modem line or so. Has anyone experience with this problem? Add ons and so are all installed und drivers are all ok. Look forward to your tips.

Hi Frank, Installed test version, upgraded guest addition. started Windows 7 VM, started YouTube in IE and still performance problem with showing the movie. On the host itself, no problem at all. Need urgent input or help to solve this. Kind regard, Ben

Good afternoon Frank, today, 30-9-2015, I reinstalled Windows host system. Operating System, 64 bits and 8gb RAM. Installed VB 5 102546 and additions Attached VM to the host, installed the proper additions and tried to play the youtube movie. Still the same problem. Any idea?

Please attach a new VBox.log file from a VM session where you tried to play the video. I just want to check a few more things of your configuration.

According to the log file, 2D video acceleration is disabled (VM settings). Any difference if you enable it?
comment:10 by , 9 years ago
Hi Frank, As soon as i click this option, accelaration > 2D video, i get a yellow warning sign. When i uncheck it, warning sign has gone away. Removed this error/warning with increasing video memory size to 128Mb. will start VM now. playing the video is still not good, wil send you the log file

Actually VBox 5.0.4 and older has a bug which prevents video acceleration from working. Therefore please update to the latest 5.0.5 Windows test build AND the latest Additions from here. The test build has a fix for the problem but you also need to update the Guest Additions. The fix will be part of the next 5.0.x maintenance release.

Hi Frank, the installation of Virtual box was easy and done. But the installation of the guest addition crashes on vboxdrvinstall.exe. attached a pickture of the error. . question now, does the GA has to be installed on the host too or only in the VM. Because installation in the VM was no problem and after reboot the version is 102947.

Hi Frank, Tried to play the YouTube movie and some other movies, also files with movies, all very poor performance. Will send you the latest logfile. Hope to hear soon from you. Kind regards, Ben

Please do NOT install the Guest Additions on the host. Install them in the guest! Your current installed Additions are still VBox 5.0.4 so you will not be able to play accelerated 2D video. The picture you attached is most likely from the host, no surprise that the installation will fail there.
Please try to install the 5.0.5 Guest Additions in your guest again. Use the Guest Additions which are part of the 5.0.5 VirtualBox package!

Please reopen if still relevant with VBox 5.0.8 (take care to install the 5.0.8 Additions as well). If you consider to reopen this ticket, please attach the corresponding VBox.log file with VBox 5.0.8.
Please attach a VBox.log file of such a VM session. You also might want to check the latest Windows test build where we fixed a problem with playing videos with 2D acceleration. Make sure to have 2D video acceleration enabled and to have the corresponding 5.0.5 Guest Additions installed.
