Video problems?

Youtubes are loading as black lines... I'm on Mac/Chrome. Don't think it's my adblocker.
Just me or anybody else running into this?

an example:

No Man's Sky

i see this too, on pc/chrome. pausing adblocker didn't change anything

I'm getting the same issue.

yup, thought it was some weird new minimalist meme

test?

Yeah, did one with the https, one with just http, both the same

Seems fine in Safari but not in Chrome.

not working in my safari

nor mine, nor IE--anybody tried Firefox?

(I'm on Windows)

Not working in Netscape either

Tried Chrome/Firefox/Safari on Macbook and none working

I see this too (Chrome/IE on WIndows)

Doesn't work in Tor (with Flash enabled) either

tried Firefox on a different computer---these are both Windows 7---same results as w Chrome, Safari, and IE on this one. Maybe Opera?

same prob for me. safari

Does anyone NOT see this issue?

having the same issue on chrome here

interesting: not a problem on zing

firefox, windows 10, no problems

chromium, linux mint 17.3, i get the monoliths

Seems fine in Safari but not in Chrome.

fwiw, i was using Safari on an iPad and not a PC.

Firefox, Windows 10 - no problems - IE and Chrome both have the monolith.

"loading as black lines" what does this look like? Can someone post a screen? I'm seeing YT's on both my mac and ipad just fine tbh.

Behold, the monolith:

not having a problem on Safari on a MacBook Pro (all fully updated to latest OS etc)

Kinda cool looking. In Chrome on iPad and Chrome/Firefox on Mac no problems here.

Ok, I just tried this. If I switch to Mobile Device Interface on my desktop, I can see the embeds. If I'm going through the regular interface on my desktop, man alive's link gets changed from

www.youtube.com/v/mbpkuLJPy9c&fs=1&hl=en
to
youtube.googleapis.com/v/mbpkuLJPy9c&fs=1&hl=en

...which opens the link up in a new page for me, but nothing plays.

this is happening on other sites. not an ilx issue

Interesting. I've passed this thread along to stet, anyway.

https://chrome.googleblog.com/2016/08/flash-and-chrome.html

Basically the embeds need to be fixed to use the HTML5 version of vids.

Ok, so here's the thread. I'm using Safari on 10.11.6, and it's still black rectangles for me.

trying it from vimeo, random choice of vid
https://vimeo.com/178395776

Oho! Better than a vertical monad. Now, with the "s" removed:
http://vimeo.com/178395776

Still, I'll settle for a link. Now, if vimeo could just add LP tracks from 1968 Gosdin Brothers country-folk-rock The Sounds of Goodbye, feat. Clarence White (in other words, is it mainly/all something about pasting YouTube content, which plays fine on Tube itself---maybe it doesn't want us pasting from it no more?)

But it doesn't mind us (or me) pasting into emails

Nor into Blogger---I'm talking about the basic links, like I just posted above from Vimeo, not the embedded freezeframes, where you just click on the right triangles to play.

(Although the visible frame did just now appear in gmail test)

Seems to be working now via my *new* Firefox, with its YouTube High Definition add-on (also its YouTube Flash add-on, I think)---still in Windows 7:

can someone post a youtube url in their display name and see what happens?

test

damn

That looks terrific

I still see a black monolith bar.

In case one of the developers missed this post:

Right, I'll take a look at this now.

Is this something we can safely change retrospectively to all the old posts, does anyone know?

Weird, everything looks fine on Chrome on my Android phone, but get the monolith on both Chrome and Safari on my Macbook Pro.

That's cool, threads'll load quicker.

I'm all for large scale indiscriminate destruction.. But I do want to see what just got posted on the Cage 4'33 thread

Could this be solved with a CSS script?

This Firefox plugin turns the boxes into youtube picture links: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-embed2link/developers

Stet, can you at least update the embed code for new videos? You can worry about the old Flash embeds later.

I only just realised that this is not the case.

For a while I thought some Black Flag fan was spamming/spoofing the borad.

Thanks!

Er ... I haven't changed anything!

Looks like Google have made the old embeds work again. Indolence wins once more. (I'll update to the new method anyway)

just take the compliments, bro

xp on the other hand, indolence does need more good p.r.

Not really a problem, but FYI ... in Chrome, the restored embeds now show a line of text where controls would normally appear that reads "The YouTube Flash API was officially deprecated on January 27th, 2015" with a link to https://developers.google.com/youtube/flash_api_reference.

This should be fixed for new embeds from now on. Will look at historical ones ... later

looking good on chrome Version 52.0.2743.116 m/windows 7 chief

yay

yep, nice and clean on chrome on mac

looking good in Chrome on a Chromebook -- thanks!

All fixed for me.

broken again. in chrome i get a NO image, in firefox it's a broken file image.

ignore me, it's just broken links in the oasis poll thread.

broken links in a Bee OK poll thread?!

started messing up again today for me, on Firefox (which had no prob during prev troubles) as well as Chrome--some things came through okay this morning, but just now, three fails in a row, on both browsers.

b-but just now, two successes in a row....
