hi guys. happened to me. Chrome works, Chromium doesn't. This is most definately a bug, however I may have a workaround for the time being
I was sure it was a flash thing. So I checked out my plugins type 'about:plugins' look for Flash and disable it. Then re enable it. Thats it. Youtube started working for me. By no means an exact run down. This is because I also uninstalled Chromium and Flash then reinstalled (getting the same bug). But once I did 'about:plugins' and disable then re-enabled it, it worked the moment went back to youtube. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/998634 Title: chromium can't play youtube vids?? Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When i go to youtube and play a video in chromium-browser, about half the time it says.."AW SNAP" and then apologizes for some error and then tells me if this happens a lot try all this stuff...which turns out to be total rubbish?? There is a bug that has something to do with...ubuntu 12.04 64 bit (maybe 32 bit too) ... chromium... and playing youtube vids (and maybe other vids). This is extremely annoying. To be sure i then played the exact same vids in firefox and they play no problem. RECAP : ubuntu 12.04 64 bit chromium-browser youtube vids error message says "AW SNAP" and the vid does not play extremely annoying...
