After recent update, red youtube videos?

[insm0d]

I'm hardly an expert at anything but it seems to me the cyan channel is twice as big as the normal sized magenta channel and the green channel doesn't appear at all.

Would those experiencing this problems please post if:
-It affects Firefox, Chromium or both
-The name of the flash package installed (and source if not from repos) - if no package, state manual install (flashplugin.so)
-Your settings in gstreamer-properties (Video > Default Output)
-Your video card make/model/PCI ID*/driver*

*PCI ID and driver can be obtained in the output of the following command:

lspci | grep -i VGA | awk '{print "sudo lspci -knn -s "$1}' | bash

- Affects both. On both if the PREF cookie is deleted, then the first video plays correctly, but if it gets set subsequent pageloads play the video with a red cast.
- Package: flashplugin-installer
Version: 10.2.152.27ubuntu0.10.10.1
- Whatever the default is on Kubuntu 10.10.
- Video card info:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: ATI Technologies Inc M24GL [Mobility FireGL V3200] [1002:3154] (rev 80)
Subsystem: IBM Device [1014:0570]
Kernel driver in use: radeon
Kernel modules: radeon, radeonfb

Yea, me too both players after update, all red with a zoomed in purplish video playing in the corner, looks like the video is divided into its RGB components.

However since I have two boots of Linux on this machine. I booted into my second boot (Kubuntu) without the update, and it played 1 video fine, and then it all changed to RED. This might be a youtube issue...

for a temporary solution, just turn off and delete the cookies for youtube.

thank you, it helps for some time.
btw, in my case youtube video doesn't work at all because of plugin crash.
deleting cookies helps, but not forever

The redness filter of death (RFOD) goes away when I click on the popout option in youtube.

There's a couple of solutions to this for the meantime. Hopefully this gets fixed. Leave it Adobe to screw Linux users once again lol.

First is deleting and blocking cookies.

Second is favoriting vids and viewing them from your channel, you can't see them in fullscreen though. But you can zoom in on those vids to reproduce a similar effect.

Third is to use this:
http://www.youtube.com/html5

Fullscreen doesn't work with this either but still.

Hopefully it gets fixed, I use Youtube a lot and this is bothering me, I was just starting to really enjoy the new Flashplayer too, it loads HD vids so much faster and plays em' way smoother than before.

I fixed mine by downgrading flashplugin-installer to 10.1

Just run

sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-installer

Then download either

http://gt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-installer_10.1.85.3ubuntu1_i386.deb

or

http://gt.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/f/flashplugin-nonfree/flashplugin-installer_10.1.85.3ubuntu1_amd64.deb

depending on your system, and install the .deb.

Then lock the flashplugin-installer version in synaptic (it will stop it from updating). Unlock it once we know 10.2 is bug-free.

Now, I use chromium-browser (daily ppa), and there is a little inconvenience: it'll always ask for the plugin to be updated. So you just need to click on "run this time", and it'll work normally. But the next time you open another youtube video, it'll ask for the update again.

Ah, by the way, this proves that it's not a youtube issue (I thought it had to do with the new layout, but apparently it doesn't), but a flashplugin 10.2 issue.
