[SOLVED]YouTube does not display video all of a sudden in Chromium.

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 smile
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 tongue
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

Re: [SOLVED]YouTube does not display video all of a sudden in Chromium.

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
