This doesn't happen for me on Chromium 29 (or Chromium 28). Can you upgrade your Chromium to Chromium 28 and check to see if Youtube is correctly working?

Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Cannot play videos on youtube.com. If I can find the same video embedded on Facebook or elsewhere, it plays fine. Videos on youtube.com load the first frame and do not play. Clicking the play/pause button has no effect other than toggling the icon. The problem does not affect Firefox. I have installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, adobe-flashplugin, etc. I have purged and re-installed adobe-flashplugin. I can play videos locally after downloading them with youtube-dl but this is inconvenient at best.
