[SOLVED] Flash issue: Youtube Videos look Red / Pink

[Dennola4]

First problem in a long while:

When I try to watch certain Youtube videos, the playback looks bad. It's like watching a 3D movie without the glasses -- the colors and images don't match-up properly.

Example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLpROhIg ... re=related (Note: the advertisement played fine)

Any ideas?? This sucks. Thanks.

Flash sucks. What else is new?

Hey Gapan.

This is a new problem for me on my Salix box. Never had it happen before -- flash always worked fine. As a test I ran Puppy from a thumb drive and it played the same videos fine, so I'm thinking....

...well that's just it. I don't understand my system well enough to troubleshoot. A blind stab at it might involve uninstalling and then reinstalling flash, or maybe something is wonky in the mozilla/firefox caches, but I don't wanna start "doing stuff" unless I know what I'm doing.

So yeah. Any ideas?

Ok,

so like you said: FLASH SUCKS. Anyway, I found a page identifying the issue and listing solutions. The first one worked for me; namely, blocking Youtube cookies.

Take care and Happy Mardi Gras.
