Re: Stuttering video at 720p. Works great in window at 1080p - Perl + SDL

As far as I can gather VC4 is right at the very edge of its abilities with 1080p. It creates a direct frame buffer matching 1080p and manages but with no further room for scaling. I've noticed that you are spilling the same kind of wrong information and misunderstandings regarding the VC4 and video...

Re: Upgraded to stretch - now there is only audio in web video players when using epiphany browser

Epiphany is not HW accelerated any more on Stretch, but it was not "replaced by Chromium". It's simply a different (and more lightweight) browser.

Video should work again, if you install all gstreamer-1.0 plugins.

Re: Raspberry Pi is unusable as everyday computer

The Stretch version of webkit is compiled against gstreamer 1.0, not gstreamer 0.10. Adding the old packages won't help. You may try to install the matching gstreamer-1.0 packages..
