Here's the issue and workaround:
Which version of Chrome? What is your CPU? IIRC, Pepper Flash is disabled,
by default, on older CPUs.
Very, very similar thread here: Google Chrome - couldn't load plugin -
shockwave flash and a link to
code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=173790. It's still flagged as
"unconfirmed" despite several me-toos.
It's now "untriaged" but this comment explains the problem: "Unfortunately,
11.5.31.138 was pushed out via the component
updater, and using plugins from the component updater doesn't work on Linux
(and breaks stuff, due to the way plugins
are loaded). :( So deleting ~/.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash should fix
things (unfortunately falling back to .137)
... and since we've stopped pushing .138, it won't reappear."
So if your YouTube / flashcontent is broken rm -rf
~/.config/google-chrome/PepperFlash
will restore your video access.
