In order to solve this mystery I have collected forensic evidence and exercised my troubleshoot-fu, but to no avail
After a good google and some fidgeting I started with asking the #archlinux and #archlinux-newbie on IRC
12:09 < dotmavriq> YouTube is not playing video on Chromium, simply opening it through a Terminal doesn't give me any direct output suggesting clues to the
12:12 < dotmavriq> http://sprunge.us/QaBR - Here is a sprunge of everything Chromium outputs from start to visiting YouTube to attempting to watch a video
12:14 < Earnestly> dotmavriq: Banana
12:14 < d_garbage> daylight come an' i wanna go home
12:14 < dotmavriq> Earnestly: Work all night on a drink a'Rum'Ah!
12:15 < dotmavriq> could anyone take a second to at least suggest what may have caused this error?
12:15 * d_garbage looks
12:15 < dotmavriq> I'm hurrying through documentation as well of course and will keep you guys updated on the matter
12:16 < dotmavriq> d_garbage: Thanks
12:16 < d_garbage> dotmavriq, it's complaining about extensions?
12:17 < d_garbage> i don't use any, don't trust any of them, dislike the whole idea
12:17 < dotmavriq> d_garbage: Well, I went through it and the really weird extension you see there at the end of it is uninstalled, it was a productivity app called StayFocusd, bloated but
worked, didn't affect my YT-problem however.
12:18 < d_garbage> there was that case a while back of a 'trusted' adblocking extension written by some guy who then when it got really popular sold it to some shady folks. No thanks
12:18 < dotmavriq> Ok, we have a new clue people, it works PERFECTLY in private browsing
Here is said sprunge for reference:

When trying to view videos on youtube I get met with complete darkness in the field where the video is supposed to load
Rebooting did not solve this
Pacman -Syyuu did not alter this
Throwing away "chrome-extension://laankejkbhbdhmipfmgcngdelahlfoji/core/vendor/jquery.min.js " did nothing
Unactivating all my plugins did not alter anything
Eureka! I can watch videos without any sort of struggle in Private Browsing
The private window does not feed me any particular verbose output in the terminal when videos play, the same goes for private browsing.

Fixed! By removing Chromium's cache

Likely a broken shader cache from the big mesa bump. Try deleting ~/.config/chromium/ShaderCache (and/or ~/.config/chromium/Default/GPUCache ) and if that didn't help throw the whole baby out with the bathwater by removing ~/.cache/chromium

Thanks for this, very helpful solution.
