Title: Google Chrome broken again (Video)
Post by: DLX on April 21, 2016, 07:54:50 AM

 Google Chrome broken again (Video)


I don't get any video just a black bock when looking at video on Youtube and Vimeo, I have updated Google Chrome and flash but made no difference Probably as youtube is not using flash player. HTML5 Video Player


I tried Firefox and can see video but don't want to use Firefox.
Last time looking back I did update the Kernel but this soded up my virtual box stopped me from open and lost a Virtual PC


I do get updates and have the latest stable Chrome.
Thanks

Edit
Going to see if mate got an graffix card I can have or save for one.

Perhaps you should uninstall Chrome completely and then reinstall it.

May want to try...

Going to settings, scroll to and click advanced settingsand deselect use hardware acceleration when available

Or look at options..
