I'm running Kubuntu 14.04 and Chromium 36.0.1985.125. I'm finding that some YouTube videos give me the error:
The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback.
But most other videos work fine.
I have the "extra" codecs installed:
$ sudo apt-get remove chromium-codecs-ffmpeg

Package 'chromium-codecs-ffmpeg' is not installed, so not removed

$ sudo apt-get install chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra

chromium-codecs-ffmpeg-extra is already the newest version.

For comparison, I installed the latest version of Firefox with Flash and the same videos that won't play in Chromium play fine in Firefox.
Anyone know what might be wrong?

you need to install pepperflash for chromium now because it nolonger accepts netscape like plugins (the firefox flashplugin)
restart chromium after installation for the changes to take effect
