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.

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

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

Just FYI uninstalling flashplugin-installer also uninstalls Boxee (of course you can reinstall it).

...what if I use Chrome and Flash is "already built in?"

Will this uninstall and reinstall off adobe's site work with it?

It worked for me and I'm on Chromium. We appear to be having the same problem though so...
