Embedded Videos Won't Play on My Blog
-
My laptop recently upgraded to Windows 10, and beginning late last night, none of the videos that I’ve embedded from my Photobucket account will play on my blog. The videos embedded from YouTube play just fine, but the videos embedded from Photobucket won’t play at all. The picture just sits there and rolls as though it’s about to start, but then nothing happens. This just started happening last night. Is there anything that I can do about this?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello @goldstarjp!
I just viewed one of your Photobucket embedded videos without issue. Have you tried looking at those videos on a different browser?
-
After the upgrade, I only have one other browser besides Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and the videos don’t play there either.
I wonder if I should uninstall Chrome and then re-install it? I can’t do anything about Edge (as far as i know) because it’s so new.

I’m thinking now that the problem is specifically with my laptop and not with the site, since I checked on my tablet and on my brother’s laptop and the videos play just fine there. It may have to do with whatever video player my laptop is using right now.
-
EDIT: I checked, and now none of the embedded videos (including Vimeo and Dailymotion) are playing on my blog. The YouTube embedded videos play fine, but everything else just sits there and do nothing.

You’re probably right. I’ve since installed Mozilla Firefox and the embed videos only play properly when I run Firefox in Safe Mode with the add-ons disabled. Otherwise, I just get sound and no picture. Hopefully Windows 10 will update and there will be a solution for this.

SOLVED – I installed the AMD Catalyst 15.6 Beta Driver and the embeds play fine now!
Thanks for listening.
