Videos in posts not working
February 24, 2016 at 7:00 am
All I'm getting is a black window within the post, where the video should be.
I'm running Firefox. It is up to date. This started the other day, I just didn't remember to post about it here until now.
I see most pics and images just fine. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Edit Reason: tried to use vimeo as an example... but those don't work for me :P
)
Is that for all videos? Or just youtube ones?
If it's just youtube:
Go in https://www.youtube.com/html5.
Check if you're already using HTML5 for youtube... if not, there should be an option to turn it on. (I no longer have the option to turn it off!  )
Never worry about flash player in youtube again.
Oh, and look in your address bar, on AF. Just before atheistforums.org, you may want to have an "https://". Keep your internet activity private, use a secure connection whenever possible.

N/m I found that by simply typing in https: before "atheistforums.org" in the address bar, worked.
My browser does support the html5 but I still am not seeing the videos. The website you sent me to doesn't really tell me anything that is helpful. I can easily go into my Firefox options to see that html5 is checked but again, if I can't see the videos, what can I do to resolve this?

Tell us what happens with a different browser.
Can you view YouTube stuff directly?
Check your options in CP to see if it's ticked to view media. *_shrugs*
Bbcode enabled?

Things work fine on another browser, even on my tablet. I'm assuming Firefox is the issue. And it's just YouTube. I can't view anything for YT, even when I go to their site directly.

I'm pretty sure YouTube still uses Flash. Try checking your plugins and making sure Flash is updated. Alternatively, install Chrome. In my experience, it's a champ at making stuff run that other sites won't.
I run my own website, and I CANNOT get either Internet Explorer or the Android default browser to work properly with it. I have given up, and told all my customers to just spend the 10 seconds it takes to download and install the Chrome browser.

Straight from the mozzarella website!
( my autocorrect suggested Godzilla or mozzarella.
I figured mozzarella was the less cheesy of the 2)

Could be a browser extension. I know Ghostery kills most of the shit on most video pages (not youtube though) because it blocks all their ads.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
