I'm trying out Ubuntu atm (same issue here), but when I reported the bug I was using the flash version that comes preinstalled with latest 64-bit Mint. After doing some more googling I found out this probably is a bug in Flash and therefore Adobe is the only one who can fix it. Correct me if I'm wrong! Very annoying issue nonetheless. Many people want to watch youtube (or other) clips on the tv instead of the monitor, especially when having guests.

This also impacts any other service using flash video. For example espn.com . If this is an adobe problem hopefully they can fix it soon as it's been like this for a while now.
