[Solution] Youtube videos are blue in Ubuntu

Many users Ubuntu they began to see YouTube videos that use flash in blue. Although I cannot confirm that this is related to the abandonment of the Linux supportFor both desktop and smartphones, there is probably some relationship.

It may be some bugs, but this only affects the platform Youtube, since in the rest of the webs that use flash this problem does not exist.


The solution

The quick solution is to right-click on the video and, in the Settings option, disable the hardware acceleration of Adobe Flash Player. Some have solved the problem in this way, but others do not work this solution since, although they click on the check box to disable hardware acceleration, the box is not cleared.

The workaround is as follows:

1.- Create the / etc / adobe folder:

sudo mkdir / etc / adobe

2.- Create and edit the /etc/adobe/mms.cfg file:

sudo gedit /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

3.- Add the following line to the file:

EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode = 1

Save, close and restart the browser to test.
