I probably shouldn't publicly display my ineptness, but you are doing
better than I. I can't find the embedded video!

I just tried Youtube, and it does work. As I said, though, I use Mactubes most of the
time for straight youtube browsing. I guess, then, that it is embedded videos that don't
work, sorry for the lack of proper testing on my part. So, flash is obviously working in
some way... As to the "original player' thing, I meant it literally: I see a bit of
text in the video frame that reads 'use original player". When I vo-space, Safari is
busy for a few seconds, but nothing happens. I've also tried the links to the different
quality videos a bit further in the frame with the same result. I am running the very
latest everything on a 2011 Mini and have a resonably fast wifi connection with few to no
buffering problems, and I'm the only machine pulling significant data on the network most
of the time. I can't recall anything at all that would have contributed to the problem.

I didn't see whatever you posted before; I probably wasn't on the list then, so
I am sorry if this is repetition for you but can you please tell me the
following?
What do you mean by the "original player"? Can you please specifically give the
name of it and the version.
Can you play youtube links when you search for them in google and activate the
link that tells the length of the video? If so, some videos are playing.
Can you send a link to a specific website where you can't get video to play?
Are you running Mountain Lion and the current version of safari? if not, what
are you running?
You say that videos used to play. can you recall anything that might have
happened, an upgrade or change in your system, that occurred around the time
they stopped playing?

Hi all,
I'm really getting frustrated with Safari. For weeks now, it has refused to
play videos, such as ones embedded in articles. I've found the frame with the
video in it and tried the original player, the 720p or whatever the highest
option is, and nothing ever happens. Is there some magic I need to do to get
things working again? I used to be able to play videos fine, but now nothing
works. Any ideas? I know I wrote about this a little while ago, but I am still
having the same trouble. Yes, I can use Mactubes for youtube browsing, but that
does not help if I get a youtube link or find a video on some other website.
Thanks.
Have a great day,
