V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 11, 2017 Author Posted July 11, 2017 Nope. Just a blank white box. When I right click to get the Flash options, it says, "Movie not loaded". Quote
securitybreach Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Well that would be why, Something is trying to load flash instead of html5. Chrome has not supported flash in over 2 years. https://productforum...ome/B8lR7jPSIXI It sounds like you may be missing pepper-flash which google's implementation that chromium/chrome uses. Chromium will not have it installed by default as it is proprietary but it is easily available. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 11, 2017 Author Posted July 11, 2017 Er... I haven't had Chrome (or Chromium) on any of my systems since v52.x. When they went to v53, something was changed in the building of the app and it would just NOT run (segmentation fault at start-up) on my Slackware 14.1 or fresh install of 14.2. I'm the only one in the world who seemed to be experiencing the problem, so I just said to heck with it and went back to Firefox. Quote
securitybreach Posted July 11, 2017 Posted July 11, 2017 Well then you have to use an extension https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/html5-video-everywhere/ I do not think youtube even supports flash anymore either as: YouTube drops Flash for HTML5 video as default https://www.theverge.com/2015/1/27/7926001/youtube-drops-flash-for-html5-video-default Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 11, 2017 Author Posted July 11, 2017 Well, here's the thing... I can watch Youtube vids everywhere except Scot's. Quote
V.T. Eric Layton Posted July 11, 2017 Author Posted July 11, 2017 Yup. Odd. Oh, I split this off from the thread that we were polluting and put it here. Quote
mac Posted July 12, 2017 Posted July 12, 2017 WIN10 64bit Pro using the latest Chrome 64bit. I don't even see the placeholder. On the test post that sunrat posted, the link appeared and the video played in another tab. Quote
