Hello,
Yesterday I could see 99.99% of the Youtube videos I could find, and today (after a system re-install) it's not possible anymore, with both Firefox and Chromium.
I didn't keep any track records to what version of Chromium/FF I was using yesterday and today (why would I, anyway) and I also have no leads to why this would happend.
Is anyone facing the same problem? Did Chromium update since yesterday?

If it ain't broke, you haven't tweaked it enough...

Did you reinstall all the packages you previously had?
I think at least firefox doesn't use html5 by default. Have you enabled it for youtube?
What does exactly happen: few video are available as html5, no html5 videos available, html5 videos crash or something else?
You can check when a package was updated yourself:

"Few"? Not really. I always went to https://www.youtube.com/html5 and enable the HTML5 player. This renders to a score of 99.9% of all videos I can find. Until today, of course.
I re-installed Arch today and it looks like everything is working fine. But I noticed this "bug" (let's call it that) started again after I installed Minetest, some videos that I could previously see were unavailable all of a sudden. Then I installed Libreoffice and it's all working again. Could be because of "jdk7-openjdk", but this is just a wild guess. Another wild guess is that the order I install things and the things I install matter too. Sometimes I find myself tripping over these situations.
