I have been recently having problems with videos on the site. The standard player shows up as a small black box with no content in it. The Alternative Player says “Sorry Because of privacy settings this video cannot be played here.” I have tried three different web browsers (Chrome, Edge, and Mozilla), all behaving the same way. Everything worked fine a few days ago. Since yesterday, I was only able to get the standard player to work once. I opened the page and instead of the small black box, I got the regular content and pressing play worked as usual, but the next time I tried, it was back to the small black box again.
Anyone else having this problem? Could there be some setting I need to adjust?
UPDATE: I did discover that my anti-virus software (Bitdefender) has a website anti-tracking feature that was causing the problem with the Alternative Player. If I pause that protection, the alternative player now works. It had no impact on the regular player which still just shows up as a small black box.
Kind Regards,
Al-

I’m having very similar problems to the post by AL. I do not have the virus protection software tha he describes, so that cannot be the explanation for my problems. My mini iPad worked perfectly for years. Any suggestions for me?
Paul L.9 May 2024 at 5:55 am #838201I started having problems viewing the breadboard episode 4. I have always used my iPad with no issues. I also see the small black box but it is not full screen and the video will not start. I tried going back to the three previous episodes that I just watched but they would not start either. Today I logged completely out and closed my browser (Safari) and turned off my iPad. I then logged back in but unfortunately was only able to see the small black box when selecting the episode or any episode. I then went back to the main page for the videos and viewed all videos available for “Free”. I tried the Breadboard episodes and selected #3 and it worked! So I then tried #4 but it once again went to the small black box with no video. I hope this long winded message is helpful. I truly enjoy Mr Sellers videos and it wasn’t just for the woodworking, he got me through some hard times.
