I have just noticed that over the past couple of days flash video has
stopped working. Mainly noticed at youtube


Video starts up OK, but then suddenly it jumps into a sort of two color
mode - the video is vaguely there, but its all mostly one color (black)
with occassional one other color (I have had purple, red etc) displaying
some small recognisable part of the video.


Once this has happened in the browser, stopping the entire browser fixes
it. It happens in both Chrome and Iceweasel.


I tried dpkg-reconfigure flashplugin-nonfree which downloaded flash
again, but it didn't make any difference.


I don't see lots of comments on here - which presumably implies that I
am the only one seeing the problem. Any ideas what it could be.

All 32bits.

Interesting question. It appears so, although this morning I had just
decided to try and remove swfdec as it said it was a transition package,
and that immediately removed gnash.


I have tried this particular youtube video with and without gnash and it
seems to make little difference.

I also have other web sites where I have flowplayer installed. These
seems to work fine - but I think it also pulls in swfobj via js.

I further re-install of gnash (but not the associated browser plugin) it
seems to work OK now

Famous last words. It got half way through the video and them started
behaving strange again.


I shut down Chrome (which I was using just this particular time) and
restarted it - it immediately started rendering wrongly.

I tried several of the suggestions with Chrome and didn't get far - but
I think it looks as through chrome uses its own local copy of
flashplayer - not sure.


I downloaded the preview of Flash 11 from Adobe and replaced the
libflashplayer.so in iceweasel's plugin directory and it seems to be
working.
