Video Issues aka Blue Skin of Death

[Simon]

I don't know if this "qualifies" as a Kubuntu topic or not. Recently I have expericenced several You Tube browser issues from within 2 different browsers. I blame the devs of Shockwave Flash. I run chromium and get told that Shockwave Flash plugin has crashed, I Googled the solution to this... disabled the plugin using aboutlugins and it says you need to install Shockwave Flash to view this video. LoL

So I jumped over to my fallback ReKonq, and run the same video now all my warm colors have shifted and people have blue faces. See, you thought my title wouldn't make any sense. Correct me if I am wrong, but I bet You Tube or Shockwave Flash did some kind of upgrade thing a short time ago.

Meanwhile all my videos play very natural from my Dragon Player. Not a real "urgent" issue at the moment but I would like to fix this someday soon.
