Public bug reported:
Chromium was playing Youtube videos via HTML5 browser in Ubuntu 14.04.
I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.10 via Update-Manager.
Now Chromium only loads the video, shows that the video is/has loaded,
and shows the Pause button (as the video is playing). The video does
not actually play: the seek bar doesn't move, video doesn't change, and
no sound comes out. If I manually move the seek bar, the video does
follow.
I have no way to debug this. It works on other platforms. Apparently
Chromium is uniquely broken in Ubuntu 14.10 when upgraded from 14.04.
