Ok so I?ve been having that green screen crash issue with youtube and only youtube I have no issues with other flash based video sites. Now the fixes I?ve tried but nothing worked I have tried the following..

  1. Updated / rolled back my GFX drivers (currently using the best for everything else)
  2. Uninstalled then reinstalled flash
  3. switched browsers twice
  4. and yes even the old trick of right clicking on the video and disabling hardware acceleration

It's not at the start of videos just half way through some videos it goes green and skips to the end so what could i be missing? had anyone else had this and how did they fix it?

Thanks for any input!

Been so long since I've experienced something like that, but as far as I can tell, it's probably codec related.

Do you have a codec pack installed? If not, maybe try one and see if that fixes your problem.

Shark007 Codecs works great, but there are others.

Or wait till others give some comments, don't just take my word.

avoid klite codec pack... if you got it you may have to reformat to get rid of it... it's very hard even with tools that "completely remove" things....

once again, there is nothing wrong with klite anymore, they've gotten a lot better than they used to be. i used klite just fine for awhile till i switched over to full MPC-HC recently

anyway, back on topic, i doubt it's a codec problem, you're pretty much on the right track blaming your graphics driver and flash

what graphics card do you have and what version of flash do you have installed?

any windows updates that could have altered the codecs???? sometimes that happens... rare.... but it does...

codecs are very touchy... so it's hard to get them fixed...

Have you tried this fix (if you are using chrome) I know on my Windows 7 machine and Chrome this one fixed that issue.

Oh, how long have you had the problem for? As in did it just start with that version of Flash, or has always happened?

The current version of Flash is 11,5,502,124. Maybe update and see if that helps... or not.

    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

    • This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time

      By Malisk · Posted

      I have this one and it's great, also paired with a Mac. I like the white back aesthetics of it and ability to have all your wireless usb peripherals under a clean lid. 4K @ 120 Hz and 65W usb-c charging is not bad even at its typical price point. The U series is probably better for commercial photo work though; IIRC one reason this one is priced in a different bracket is because it's not calibrated and verified for optimal color accuracy. Not something I think of in daily use, coding, and light gaming though.
