I noticed since switching to SlimJet from Chrome that when I am watching a Youtube video, I no longer see thumbnails when I am rolling the mouse over the video playback bar. I only see a black square, but if I view a Youtube video that is embedded on another site, the thumbnails appear as normal. Is this just me or is it a bug with Slimjet? The only addons I have are ABP, Ublock, Youtube+ (which I disabled to verify it was not causing the problem which it isn't) and h264ify which I had on Chrome and didn't cause this problem. Can anyone verify this? It's not a huge deal. Only a slight annoyance as I rely on those thumbnails quite a bit to seek through videos to find the content I want to see.
I am using Win XP SP3 and running version 10.0.8.0 of SlimJet.

Re: Minor problem with Youtube
I have taken screenshots in both Chrome and Slimjet to show this problem. Not only do thumbnails show up in Chrome just fine, but the player is bigger in theatre mode and the thumbnails are bigger as well. It seems that Slimjet is using the old youtube player for some reason? Sorry for the pics being so big. I only got the prompt asking me to shrink them once and accidentally X'ed it out. I couldn't get it to come back again or I would have shrunk them.

Re: Minor problem with Youtube
After screwing around with stuff a bit, it seems to be related to the flash player. If I go into the plugins page and disable flash player, then try to load a Youtube video, it doesn't play of course. However, the buttons on the iframe (play button, settings button, full screen button etc..) are the same as the ones I see in Chrome instead of the older style buttons I see in Slimjet with the flash player on and the videos able to play. I also noticed that next to "Adobe Flash Player" in the plugins page, it says there are two files, but they don't show up individually. In Chrome, I believe they do with one being PepperFlash and the other being the built in player for Chrome and you get the choice to disable/enable them individually which I had to do in Chrome to get stuff going right. This is such a weird problem.. and frustrating.
I also noticed that when I seek through a video, the video plays super fast for about a second as if it's catching up to the point I clicked on instead of instantly going to that spot. The sound plays normal, but the video does this every time I click on the seek bar. Rewinding to a point is now very frustrating. This does not happen at all in Chrome or Firefox. It's only Slimjet. The playback is also slightly herky-jerky which interferes with audio as well. It's a minor effect, but it is noticable with very short stutters in the music at inconsistent intervals. By very short, I mean like hundreths of a second. Just trying to give as much information as possible. Again, Chrome plays perfect and FF plays perfect.
