Only in YouTube do my colors invert.
Every other video source (say for example Vimeo) looks fine.

Reds are blue, yellows are green.
Anyone know how to adjust this?

It is a bug in new versions of the Flash player.
Adobe have chosen not to fix this, as they intend to abandon support
for Linux anyway.

Oh, so the last version they left us with has a bad color table.
Anyone know how to downgrade?

You know the bullshit in all this is that Adobe states they are not
supporting Linux, but then they will do so for Google. In other words, screw
Opera and Firefox.
So if Adobe sees Linux as insignificant, then why doesn't Google, who
apparently will keep producing a browser for Linux--and apparently get Flash
updates from Adobe?

Talk about political business bullshit.

Well, I'm not using Chrome. Hurry up HTML5.

Running KDE 4.8.2 & Firefox in 64 bit and no updates to be had here.
Funny, your link is inverse in color, but the small preview pix along the
side of the YouTube page are all correct.

OS: Linux 3.1.10-1.9-desktop x86_64
System: openSUSE 12.1 (x86_64)
KDE: 4.8.2 (4.8.2) "release 494"

Oh, well.

try: right click a Flash pane and turn off Flash's hardware acceleration..

or, go back to an earlier version--not advised as many were superseded
due to security problems..

Given that it only shows up with Nvidia, I'm going to keep sticking with ATI

The blue skin effect shows up for me when viewing a video at cnn.com.
Otherwise everything is fine. I've not checked what happens on YouTube.

thanks! I had the problem but it seems to have cleared without
unclicking the acceleration box

colors seem normal

if this is still an issue could someone post a link to a blue-face clip?

TIA

I am using OS 11.4 64x86, Firefox, Nvidia GeForce GT 220 with
NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-295.53 driver and Adobe Flashplayer
11.2.202.235-14.1. (64x86 version).

If I set in /etc/adobe/mms.cfg "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=1" YouTube
faces have natural colours. The Adobe Flashplayer creashes when playing
Embedded Videos from "www.spiegel.de" and other sites.

If set to "EnableLinuxHWVideoDecode=0", YouTube faces are blue, The
Adobe FlashPlayer does not crash when paying Embedded Videos from
"www.spiegel.de" and other sites.

If I downgrade to Adobe Flashplayer 10.2.152.26-2.1 (i586) all works
fine. My experience with Adobe Commercial Products is when Adobe fixes
one security feature or bug, they create 3 new ones.

Is there a Opensource Flashplayer available that handles Videos created
with Adobe crap?

gnash and swfdc do not work.
