[Bug 1483186] [NEW] Video corruption on YouTube videos (using html5 video tag playback)

[Jan Henke]

Public bug reported:

Watching videos on YouTube randomly become "corrupt", indicated by
bright green areas in the video and generally not being able to see the
normal content any more. Sound continue fine, so it seems to be a video
decoding problem.

No flash player is involved, video playback is via the HTML5 video tag.
