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:

I still see a black monolith bar.

In case one of the developers missed this post:
Basically the embeds need to be fixed to use the HTML5 version of vids.

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.

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?

Stet, can you at least update the embed code for new videos? You can worry about the old Flash embeds later.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 17 August 2016 06:40 (seven years ago) link
yup, thought it was some weird new minimalist meme
I only just realised that this is not the case.

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

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)
― stet, Thursday, 18 August 2016 18:07 (seven years ago) link
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.
― Brad C., Wednesday, 24 August 2016 01:00 (seven years ago) link
This should be fixed for new embeds from now on. Will look at historical ones ... later

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.
