If you can see YouTube videos, try entering some of the words into the YouTube search.

Are you able to see embedded YouTube videos on other websites?
Weird.

Get Vimeo to work with my OS on DU, although if I allow enough through I can watch it on other sites. No matter how many scripts I release on medialite and other website links to see, for example MSNBC or others, I can't see them until they come out on Youtube. Then I post them I can find them for others having the same problem. Something is not working with all computers, but I find that Youtube does. Sorry, I have no solution to your not seeing videos.

While it is kind of a pain, it is good to know that I am not alone with this problem.

Type in the words in the box on the upper left corner of the page, hit enter, and good luck finding it. Most of the time it's there, if it's been uploaded already.
