This is a duplicate, however the solution given does not work.

After updating to Ubuntu 12.04 from Ubuntu 11.10, all video is now blue, whether playing in a browser or a player.

I have tried to uninstall all Flash and re-installed but makes no difference.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Fix (work around)

Issue: All web browsers flash player video is blue
Chromium
Google Chrome
Firefox

Both flash plugins causes flash video to appear have a blue overlay, so remove.
Adobe - flashplugin
Flashplugin - installer

Solution (not as functional as adobe flash plug in but it works)

Install Lightspark (plus any browser-plugins)
or
Install Gnash (plus any browser-plugins)

FIX (Possible)
Removed:
Gnash-browser plugins
Video Decode and Presentation API for Unix (libraries) libvdpau1
Installed:
Adobe-flashplugin
Re-started browser, and it worked for me.

I've been looking for a solution to this for years, but nothing is conclusively documented. There are many Shoutcast Flash players out there (e.g. radio.de) so I know it's possible. However, most of my research leads to this: s = new Sound(); s.loadSound ("url.of.shoutcaststream:8003",true); Which… >>> More
