<![CDATA[Color not accurate playing Youtube videos with 12.04LTS?]]>Suddenly a couple days ago I noticed color is off, very blueish, when playing videos on Youtube. When videos/movies are played from other sources color is normal and accurate. Anyone know what may have happened causing this?

I have a triple boot system running Win7, 12.04LTS and 14.04LTS
When W7 is run color is completely normal playing Youtube videos.
However color is off with blueish tinge on both 12.04 and 14.04.
Played around with 'enhancements' on Youtube which does correct color and goes back to normal but when I try 'saving' it doesn't hold the correction made! It goes back blueish when videos are played again.

Seems like the problem is with Opera 12.016, Linux Version, Build 1860 x86_64, 3.2.0-68-generic browser.
Opera has not upgraded their Linux browsers in ages, don't know why!

When Youtube videos are played using Firefox and Chome browsers all colors are completely normal.

Didn't have a clue what they did to bookmarks in 25! Still trying to figure it out. Had 100s of bookmarks that imported over to 25..... for the most part in alphabetical order. However it seems when new bookmarks are added, they just get dumped into unsorted bookmarks with no way to alphabetize them, as was possible in earlier Opera versions.

Wish they would have left the old bookmark manager which worked great, as it was.

Then installed beta Opera 25 and again it would not play Youtube or Yahoo videos and any others for that matter.
Followed linuxmint7 instructions above to install the pepper flash plug-in (pepperflashplugin-nonfree), which was be in the Ubuntu repositories and BINGO, videos now play on Youtube and Yahoo with correct color!

Also am pleasantly pleased and surprised and with how beta Opera 25 performs better and snappier on Trusty Tahr 14.04 than it does on 12.04!

Opera 25 won't play Youtube or Yahoo videos and any others for that matter.

Then there is bookmarks or lack thereof!!! Most but not all bookmarks from 12.06 went over but they are all jumbled up in no organized listing and it seems like you have to do a lot more clicking to do what 1 click does in 12.06 or earlier Opera versions!!! What were they thinking?!?!?!

As I am running Linux Mint 17 (based on 14.04) and it appears there for me.

While Opera 12 says Flash Player is installed and plays all fine.
Opera 25 beta says Sorry, Flash Player is not installed and won't play at all.
When attempting to install Flash 11 on Opera 25 Ubuntu Software Center says flash 11 is already installed!

Opera 12 says Flash Player is installed.
Opera 25 beta says Sorry, Flash Player is either not installed or not enabled.

You need to install the pepper flash plug-in (pepperflashplugin-nonfree), which should be in the Ubuntu repositories.

Then one fine day, I discovered about double-clicking here and there (it pertains to ad windows on such sites/pages, too - I mean those blocking the played content).

Then it's the leftest tab there for me, with a tickable box in it.
