Unbelievable. Now I had Chrome open (which is the browser I usually use) with a youtube video playing exhibiting the issue. Then I paused it and I opened Firefox, which appears to run an older version of the flash plugin (which btw is disturbing: why on earth do I have a different flash player per browser? anyways...), I opened the same youtube video and the issue was GONE. Then I came back to Chrome, without restarting it or even reloading the page, and I hit play again, and now it's GONE TOO in Chrome. After closing Firefox and restarting Chrome, the issue is still gone.
The fact that the issue persists across reboots and the "fix" persists across browser restarts almost completely discards that the issue may lie in the flash player itself. Apparently, something in that older version of the flash player "triggers" something somewhere in the system (that is then "remembered") which makes video timing go back to normality (while it is wrongly initialised until that thing is triggered). It's pretty weird. Next time I reboot I'll let you know whether the issue is back, but it will almost certainly be. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1190595 Title: [HUGE REGRESSION] all web video playback is systematically slightly accelerated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1190595/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
