Youtube doesn't work with Chromium [SOLVED]
« on: 2018/06/04, 01:08:32 »
I updated Chromium today to 67.0.3396.62-1Since then, Youtube stopped working corerctly. I can enter the website, view the thumbnail videos when I hover them, but I can't play any of them. I get "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: *****************) That happens with every video from any channel.
I checked it's not my computer's or IP's fault, because I can watch videos with Firefox corectly.
The debug info from Youytube says that something's wrong with the audio decoder. I'll keep on searching :

Ok, in that case you don't have any problems. Problem solved.

Does that fit in with Benjamin Franklin's quotation?  (Only joking, I'm a pragmatist at times as well.)

OK, thanks a lot for the info on the bug  ;) It seems we'll have to wait or revert it to v66.

Reverting to 66 fixes it but had to get the packages from Debian Snapshot as Testing had only version 62.

You can install SRware Iron and you will have Chrome ver. 66.0.3450.0.  (It says 65 on the Linux download page, but it is actually 66.0.3450.0.)

@Camelot: Erm, no, really no, no and no. No way - that would be the nearly dumbest move one can make. Please have a look at the changelog. After that please ask yourself some questions:
1. Wtf is testing 62.x
2. Why do newer versions never made it to testing?
3. Is chromium/unstabe in the current state really a good idea?

I'm not argueing against FOSS - i'm argue against versions of software with many CVEs open. So - never suggest or use testing when chromium breaks - use the latest working versions from snapshots. And check the changelog if even that downgrade could be considered as a really good idea.

Code: [Select]
