    It's the second time I get an error while playing YouTube videos from Google Chrome. I reinstalled the flash plugin thinking it's because of it but still happens (in Chrome only, FireFox/Maxthon work ok). The good thing about this though is that it let me know that "The follwing plugin is unresponsive: Shockwave Flash" and didn't do anything about that page until I chose to close it, after that displaying instead of the video itself the sad face:
    Youtube crashes Chrome
    Who knows, maybe it's because I was watching an "End of Day" video :). Anyone else having this problem, or a workaround for it? Hope it's one of the things they fix in the next update, as YouTube is one of their own products and it should run smooth (true that Flash is not their product).

    thanks for the response, I guess it's something they'll fix in a future version. I've seen that they have a page where they list the current known issues for Google Chrome - http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/request.py?contact_type=known_issues_2 - however, I don't see anything about flash issues, doesn't hurt to send them a reminder.

    It works good for me, but I use Chromium, the open-source version, so maybe it's fixed. But it is a bit slow (possibly because of running from usb-drive )

    I'm using Chromium, the open-source version of Chrome.

    Hi,
    I see there's a new version (149.30) posted, which seems to address some bug fixes with plugins such as:

    [r1692] Fix crashes with some plugins --3dvia was the most widely reported-- when they return an error for NPN_GetValue. Fixes bug 493.
    [r1859] Fix problems with Flash not playing video if too many connections are opened. For example, using the slider to advance video on YouTube could cause video to stop playing.

    Maybe you have this new version installed and they fixed it. I'm installing this version and I'll see how Flash plays now.

    I have 0.2.153.0 (Chromium), and it works ok. Don't know what the builds name is.
