RodeoSchro	YouTube videos showing up as black rectangles It appears that we are not seeing YouTube videos now - just black rectangles. I've experienced this on my home Dell laptop and my Dell tower at work. I've logged onto the Org in both Chrome and Explorer, and get the rectangles both times. Sexton also reported he's seeing black rectangles. Is this an Org glitch, or a RodeoSchro glitch? Thanks!

I was just about to post about this, but checked the forum first (you non-lookin' MFers know who you are). Anyhoo - yeah, it started yesterday or day before.

If you post a youtube video that doesn't show up, then please post a clickable link to the video by editing your post or replying to it. Make it clickable by using the {url}http://www.youtube.com{/url} with [] instead of {}. People shouldn't have to copy and paste.

Adorecream	It may also have something to do with the fact that Adobe still used NPAPI software and Google no longer supports it, since forced updates of these browsers. . Adobe therefore is the main encoding software used for videos in forum boards, there is no work around until Adobe get their shit together. Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

This seems to be a Youtube problem. I tried posting a video on another music forum and had the same problem as here--so it doesn't seem to be a specific org problem nor is it my computer.

Yep, it is. About the time it started here on the Org, Tinychat started messing up. You can play YT vids in a Tinychat. You still can, but the overlay to stop, pause, or adjust time isn't working. You literally have to sit through a whole video, even if it's the wrong one, or simply play a short video to stop it. It's some sort of overlay problem on YT's part.
