Chromium: Can't change quality on YouTube

Hi,

whenever I try to change the quality of a YouTube video, the screen of the flash player goes black and the video stops playing.
I've tried both flashplugin and chromium-pepper.

Youtube videos work fine with Firefox.

Any idea what's wrong here?

Thanks in advance!

Re: Chromium: Can't change quality on YouTube

are you using the latest version of chromium-pepper-flash?

I had some similar issues (some videos showing just black) when using Youtube Center extension, so have you tried disabling whatever extensions you might be using?

I'm using the latest stable release of pepper (2:11.9.900.117-1).

I tried disabling all extensions and plugins (except for chromium-pepper-flash of course) but the problem still exists.

Silly question, but did you disable hardware acceleration in the flash settings?

Tried with and without hardware acceleration, but with no success...
