MediaPlayer is also able to do overlay if available, are you sure that’s where the difference in CPU usage comes from?
Possibly related to #6656 (Overlay does not work anymore) – Haiku

Mediaplayer is not satisfied with triple buffering (in my opinion it is nonsense to use more for video buffering) and I think it also failes for the most implemented beos time colorspace. Result is I never see it working.
Yes I am 200 percent sure. Of course the amount of cpu saved directly related to the output video window size. This 50 percent is 720p content scaled 1:1.
I’m getting HTTP 400 errors when attempting to download either image.
e: Now I’m getting the following error instead: ipfs resolve -r /ipns/hpkg.haiku-os.org/testing/r1beta4/tc0/haiku-r1beta4-tc0-x86_64.iso: could not resolve name. Please upload the ISOs somewhere else 
This thread has been unpinned too. Maybe something like the official release image is coming soon. Yesterday there was only one blocking issue in the bugtracker so…

Also wanted to start testing but same problem too.
Someone reported this earlier in the thread and @kallisti5 fixed it.
Should be resolved now. These are pinned in multiple geographic locations, however the sole NUC at my house is doing ipns resolution of hpkg.haiku-os.org locked up.
Take comfort that R1/beta4 final will not be strictly distributed via IPFS 
IPFS is our backup system for mirroring all the isos/repos/etc. I evaluated it a few years ago as a primary distribution system, and the single points of failure kinda put a damper on it lol.
Primary distribution today is done via our Wasabi S3 buckets and global mirror partners.

Yep, it finally works, but is very slow (~150 kB/s).
And it failed.
Try this instead as a workaround as I look into it.

For release we usually also try to have a bittorrent available, I think?

My custom-built desktop from earlier this year doesn’t boot beta4 TC0, same as with R3 or any of the intervening hrevs, and none of the boot-menu options seem to alleviate the issue. What happens is, I surmise, some kind of USB initialization weirdness: all USB devices shut off, but never come back on, and none of the seven icons on the boot screen ever light up. (Posting here because I don’t think it’s worthy of a survey response, as I haven’t actually used beta4 TC0). What do I do?

I also noticed something strange with my Gigabyte B550 Aorus Elite v2. When I use the Systems Boot Menu and select the USB stick as temporary startup device, Haiku does not start, even in Safemode (Splash screen turns up and a second later it reboots without a syslog entry). But if I set the USB Stick as the first boot device in the BIOS, it works fine and boots to Desktop.
Did you open a bugreport at dev.haiku-os.org? If so, provide a link to it so devs can look into it. Otherwise, maybe it’s time to open one if you want the issue looked into.
Dear @korli,
Me also tested hrev56609 and hrev56627 nightly images of 32bit Haiku - written onto USB flash. Both failed to boot - they stucked – as usually – at device listing of USB devices when they would come to be enlisted by boot progressing.
Actually I have no (re)writable CD or DVD disc available - sorry, I need some time till I get payment here 
It would be interesting if optical stuff would be work - however only live session would be available as there’s no free disk space in that laptop - that way I tried to boot USB flash - as I would install Haiku onto unused space of flash disk just as in case Dell machine I did.
Ticket was updated.
Kind regards,
Thank you for your answer, @waddlesplash
Meanwhile I listed /nin to see what commands are available.
yepp I saw list* commands I will try them later. For mountvolume thanks
I smiled on nestat command as me also found it - I just smiled as switches were different just as for ps command – so I have to learn again how to use it. I smiled partway on myself as well – as I had not get the expected output but warning of unknown switches
Haiku put me back into newbie’s lesson curves …

Try what Korli said. There’s also some info here (Chrome OS):
I upgraded beta3 to beta4 hrev56578 on the old core 2 duo machine and everything looks fine. WebPositive can play youtube without crash now, however it is a bit slow to load video and comsume a lot of memory. Screen support i945GME driver as the same as beta3 but the Brightness function still is not usable.
BTW, when I try to build raw nightly disk image, it is failed with -
/boot/home/haiku/src/kits/support/ZstdCompressionAlgorithm.cpp:17: zstd.h: No such file or directory
/boot/home/haiku/src/kits/support/ZstdCompressionAlgorithm.cpp:18: zstd_errors.h: No such file or directory
There is no libzstd_devel listed in HaikuDepot, do I miss something?

Look for zstd_devel and make sure you got the menu item Show | Develop packages activated.
Alternatively, in Terminal pkgman search zstd will find the relevant packages.
