Well, I just downloaded the tarball once more, and took a look. cmp says today's tarball is different from yesterdays. Unpacking the tarball and doing a diff -r reveals that they differ in the contents of the readme (version goes up from .228 to .233) and the kde library, /usr/lib/kde4/kcm/adobe/flash_player.so .
Noticed that libflashplayer is also different, so I went ahead and moved today's libflashplayer in to see what would happen. No change. (Guess I'm still not up to speed on reading diffs.)
I should note that some videos work, either way. (Live video of Heart doing Heartless and another of B-52s doing Roam. The Roam video claims to be a conversion to Theora.) Probably Theora/ogg and other free stuff works and non-free stuff that depends on Flash to get around the codec issue doesn't.
So, the versions shouldn't be at issue here. I guess I'll tell my daughter that youtube is isn't going to work for a few days, until I get more information, at least.
Adobe's failure to provide cryptographic checksums for those further undermines my trust in their processes.
Why don't you switch your youtube experience to hmtl5?
and join....
Great idea!
Doesn't seem to make any difference, however.
I'm seeing some messages that may be related in /var/log/messages, I'll have to copy paste them into this thread. And I'll try moving the old Flash plugin back in to see if that tells me anything.
With the old flash plugin, youtube works fine.
May put flash in one account on the box I'm using here, to see if it's perhaps a CPU or other hardware issue but not now.
Okay, the current flash plugin and yesterdays both work on this box. Except that

(heart playing heartless on TV back in the 70s) doesn't.

B52s playing Roam, does play.
html5 setting doesn't make any difference on this box, either.
This box is a netbook with the accursed Intel Atom N455, 32 bit fedora. That box is AMD Sempron 2600, all 32 bit.
Guess I need to file a bug somewhere.
