amd64, HTML5 video on chromium recently stopped playing. Anybody know why? Example videos that do not play but previously played:

They "load" and I can "seek" by dragging the bar around, but they do not "play". Anybody know which package is responsible? I'd be happy to downgrade it to whatever it was a month ago to see if that helps. My guess is chromium, but someone removed all the older chromium packages from portage :roll:

Thank you,

Chris
