most videos not playing on youtube

Postby ftravers » Sun Mar 02, 2014 4:54 am

A lot of videos aren't playing on youtube now. Some still play (maybe older ones)?

I'm using chromium and have pepper-flash

~ % sudo pacman -Q | grep pepper U fenton/.
chromium-pepper-flash 11.7.700.225-3

seems resolution was to make sure HTML5 was not used as the player.

the chrome app "YouTube Options" allows you to lock the player into adobe flash.

html5 videos used to work but these days are corrupted (Samsung chromebook) e.g. youtube, paypal home page.

Deleting /usr/lib/chromium/libffmpegsumo.so is the easiest option.

deleting file works for me hopefully will "stay" working.

using pepper flash on archlinux arm using:

exec /usr/bin/chromium --ppapi-flash-path=/usr/local/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so --ppapi-flash-version=12.0.0.77 $*
