[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#587293: chromium-browser: HTML5 YouTube does not work

[Ansgar Burchardt]

Package: chromium-browser
Version: 5.0.375.86~r49890-2
Severity: normal

Hi,

since the latest version I can watch some HTML5 videos such as [1], but
the HTML5 version of YouTube [2] still does not work: I get a player
window, but no video appears.  Only an animated swirl is visible.
There is also no information how long the video is (it says "00:00 /
00:00").

Regards,
Ansgar
