Afternoon,

I did a system update yesterday and installed lots of new packets onto my Arch install, but I think one of them has bugged out Youtube.

It is a very strange bug, all colours turn towards blue, but only if I am watching it fullscreen or in the "Main window." The thumbnails of related videos to the right all have normal colours- until I click on them, at which point their colours turn blue. I have tried the usual suspect of re-installing flash, and a google around but no one seems to have this problem.

This problem also only seems to happen on Youtube as other video sites are fine, as is my normal browsing.

Would be great if anyone could help, I don't fancy watching "Smurf-O-Vision" all the time. :)
 
Just had a look through that post, there seem to be mixed opinions- some have applied a "Patch" created by a developer but it doesn't seem to work for everyone.

Seemingly the best option is to downgrade from 11.2 (beta) to 11.1- but now I need to find a package containing it.

The problem seems to be very much on Adobe's end. :(
 
Disabling hardware acceleration through the options menu no longer seems to work, as soon as I bring up the settings page on the video the settings don't respond- I have to refresh the page. :(
 
Seemingly it is a bit random as to when I can or can't change the option.

After a system restart the option to not use hardware acceleration is reset to using it.

I'm on Chromium. Hopefully a patch will come around soon.
