Can't play youtube videos with chromium (version 72.0.3626.96-r1) (workaround) #77

Closed sakaki- closed 5 years ago

The version of the chromium browser (72.0.3626.96-r1) bundled with the latest 1.4.0 release will not correctly play videos on sites like youtube (the bundled firefox works fine).

To work around this, simply roll back to the previous (72.0.3626.28-r2) version of chromium by issuing:

demouser@pi64 ~ $ sudo emaint sync --repo rpi3
demouser@pi64 ~ $ sudo emerge -vu www-client/chromium dev-embedded/rpi3-64bit-meta

This installs from a binary package, so the process shouldn't take long (10 minutes or so).

Apologies, I should have caught that in testing ><

I'll leave this issue open until I get a chance to post a 1.4.1 with the unaffected variant of chromium bundled.

Best, sakaki

Addressed in v1.4.1 of the image (chromium upgraded to 72.0.3626.121, which also fixes CVE-2019-5786).

Accordingly, closing.
