I have a chromebook computer, and after my last adobe update, I started having problems when watching some videos (usually the older ones) it gets really choppy, like watching an old Max Hedroom movie. I tried changing different settings in both the computer, browser and the youtube site, but it doesn't fix the problem. Does anyone here have any ideas on a plug in or something else I could do?
AFAIK Youtube doesn't use Adobe Flash for video anymore, unless you have a seriously outdated browser that doesnlt support HTLM5 that should not be the issue. The first thing I would try is use a different browser.
In any event this can be caused by multiple things; internet connection, not enough CPU, running out of space on the storage.

I tried different browsers, but the same thing. Funny thing, it won't do this with all videos. Only some of the older ones. The newer ones, or ones I VEMO work just fine.
Have you checked to see if other devices are affected? Try a bandwidth checker. https://www.speedtest.net/
I'm not familiar with Chromebooks but on windows you have a task manager that will tell you what is consuming resources and how much. See if it has something similar.
Any other software changes recently? New anti-virus etc.?
Try reinstalling your video drivers. The choppiness you mention sounds like there is no hardware acceleration - lack of video drivers.
