After recent update, red youtube videos?

[nslegacy163]

After the recent update my OS went through requiring a restart, all the videos I play on youtube.com from Chrome or Chromium are red. Like a red filter on them. Mozilla works fine. I'm assuming it has something to do with the flash update in Chromium?

Any suggestions on a fix or if I should bring this up another chain?

I'm having the same problem. I have been using HTML5 instead of Flash Player. You can use HTML5 instead by joining the beta at youtube.com/html5.

I signed up (I'm assuming. I clicked the "join" link and it changed to a "leave" link), and restarted my browser (Chrome) and still get the red filter of death.

Not all youtube videos will work with HTML5. I am going to try downgrading my Flashplayer.

Yeah, I tried a couple. And I just watched an embedded youtube video in my RSS reader and it played fine.

sigh.

I have found a fix! Uninstall flashplugin-installer and then install flashplayer .deb from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?no_redirect.

Did downgrading work and what's the easiest/best way to roll flash back?

Same problem here since this morning, on Lucid 32 bit. No problem on Maverick 64 bit.

The problem disappears if the PREF youtube cookie is erased. It comes back with the cookie, though.

Temporary workaround : erase the PREF cookie + block all youtube cookies.

YouTube videos will then play fine, but you won't be able to log into your account.
