Embedded video not loading?

[Guest]

I seem to be having a problem with embedded video not loading.

For example:  In Youtube if a video is embedded in a larger screen (example: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCY30JRSgfhYXA6i6xX1erWg) it will not load but if I load the video in its own page (example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_profilepage&v=bLT0z60vBl4) it will work perfectly fine.

The issue comes when there are videos that don't have the option to load in a full screen (example: http://www.cbc.ca/thenational/watch/).

I have the latest version, have hardware acceleration unchecked, this happens with all browsers (IE, FF, Chrome), have deleted cookies... what else can I do?

this happens with all browsers (IE, FF, Chrome)

Then it HAS to be something outside of Flash Player and the browsers, because:

IE usues a proprietary plug-in - ActiveX, which is ONLY for IE amd functions independently of the others

Firefox uses the standard plug-in, which neither IE nor Chrome use, unless you specifically disable Chrome's proprietary plug-in

Chrome uses its own proprietary plug-in called "PepperFlash" which not only functions independently of the other two, it's a different format (PPAPI vs NPAPI)

The odds that all three different plug-ins (in two different formats, no less) have the exact same problem with one situation (viewing embedded YouTube video in another page)... are astronomical.

I had this occur. In several cases, Media Player needed to be re-installed on Windows 7. Although it reported itself as installed; Media Player could not be correctly launched independently and would not initiate from sites such as YouTube.

Windows Media Player and Flash Player have nothing whatsoever to do with each other. Flash Player plays SWF and FLV files which WMP cannot. WMP plays MP3, WAV, WMA and WMV files which Flash Player cannot.

WMP plays files in a stand alone player, Flash Player is a plug-in for a browser.
