Title: Videos are green and sometimes pink
Post by: GodfatherDonStatus on June 23, 2020, 11:19:43 PM

Hi everyone. For some strange reason whenever I try to watch a video they appear green and black and sometimes green and pink. I've tried completely uninstalling the browser and reinstalling but the problem still occurs. I have been using the browser without issue for about 2 months now. I will post an image of what is happening. (https://i.ibb.co/w0MpCDM/1111.png)

I have seen some youtube videos strobing green, also unable to download videos. I have given up watching any video's using ASB.

So why does it only happen on ASB and not FF or Opera?

Sorry but I can't duplicate the problem in  Secure Browser.

See if it helps to disable hardware acceleration in ASB settings.

I can't reproduce it here either.

This immediately worked for me, still curious why it only happend sometimes but I'll take the win, give this a shot!
