Facetime video issues in Mavericks
My wife has a MacBook Pro 13" Retina Early 2013 and we have updated to Mavericks, same as every other Apple computer we have at home.
Since the update, she is having issues using FaceTime to talk to her parents. We are in Australia and they are in Brazil.
She calls them from the MacBook and they answer using an iPad 2. As you can imagine the latency is not the best but we never had issues before. We used to call them using Skype but because of the latency the image and sound quality were very bad and we tested FaceTime which was perfect so we never used Skype again.
The problem we have now running Mavericks on her MacBook is that the image freezes (both the image we receive and our image from the camera in the corner) until we move the mouse pointer. In the other end, her parents have no problems.
I tried placing a call to her from my devices and everything works fine, but we are in the same Wi-Fi network.
Before the update the calls would work fine but with some jerks, I believe what's happening now is that because of the latency, at the moment that the video would skip a bit and come back, as it should in this case, FaceTime (or the graphics in general) is having issues to come back.
And I'm also having graphics problems with my Mac Mini 2012, which I use as a Media Center. I run Plex and I had to change the settings to use the software to decode the video files instead of hardware because some videos are not decoding properly (they have horizontal divisions out of sync). Before Mavericks everything ran perfectly. But this is a problem for another discussion, I'm just mentioning because it's also a graphics problem with Mavericks.
Anyone else having problems like that?
MacBook Pro (Retina, Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9)
