Anyone else having trouble with vids?

[ssjSephiroth]

Since about 1-2 weeks ago, ever since the site was worked on, I've been having trouble playing videos such as Unskippable and Zero Punctuation.

I'll click on the video, and after a zombie ad, the video will enter an "eternal loading cycle". In this state, the pause/play button will no longer work, and neither will the video.

I've been told that these videos will actually work early, early in the morning, but since early for me is 11 o' clock in the morning, by the time I get up, the whole process repeats itself.

I was wondering if anyone else was having a problem with this, or if it was just me, and what I can do to get around this problem; either that, or if/when will this problem be fixed?

Happened once.
Fine now.

Sorry I can't be any more help...

Edit:
Huh.
I just tried to load a vid and got a "303:resources unavailiable" message...

Lucky you. At least the load goes somewhere. I can't even TELL what's wrong.

I have had that happen so often, and at completely random intervals! What happens is I'll ask it to tell and then am subjected to the Screen of Eternal Loading. Refreshing and reloading don't work, but then the next day or within the next hour, its fine again. And its every video! Unskippable, Video Supplements, ZP, etc! So frustraiting!!

I suggest experimenting with multiple browsers to see if you have any luck. You might get the videos to play properly in IE. If not, then go through the usual ritual rigmarole of updating drivers, flash and all that other crap we know and hate.

I'm having problems right now. I was getting a flash error when the player tried to load up and ended up with just a plain grey background. I updated to the latest flash player, cleared cache etc (I'm using Firefox 3) and now I just get the grey background. It does work in internet explorer so I'm going to do a full clear of Firefox and see what happens.
