There was a thread in another section about people having trouble getting videos on the main page to play,

I can view videos on youtube and all of the other sites that I visit except for Vital and the Instagram videos posted in the Social Scoop section.

Already updated all video player plug-ins and have the latest version of Firefox. Tried it on Chrome and have the same problem.

Any ideas?

Hi rrjr,

There's a few different reasons why some video services including out own may not work for you. As you mentioned you've updated your browsers and plugins, could you try opening a video in 'Private Browsing' or 'Incognito' mode whilst having all third-party plugins disabled (including any ad-blockers etc).

If the above does not work, it may be that your browsers have a disabled hardware-accelerated video decoding option set to off as default.

The below links are not completely up-to-date, but hopefully will help guide you to find these settings in your browsers.

Chrome: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Video-Display-and-Touch/How-to-En…

Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1013828

If any of the above still does not work, please let me know what type of computer and operating system you are using to help us further investigate this issue.

Ok so i checked to make sure the hardware accelerated video decoding option was set to on.
I'm on a Dell XPS 600 with Windows XP Professional x64 edition.

I opened a new window with "Private Browsing" and now I can view some of the videos. The Brett Cue 2017 Honda video plays and also the Axel Hodges Slayground video plays. The Ohlins video still does not play.

Update for those with video playback issues; we have implemented a fallback solution that will provide you with a direct link to the video should playback fail after a certain period of time. Hopefully in the short-term this will allow most of you to view the content.

Can anyone who still experiences no-play issues, or recieves the fall-back screen with the direct link to the video please tell me what add-ons and extensions you have installed in any browsers where the video fails (just looking for any continuity in issues).

Also, if at all possible, could you please visit this video page; http://www.vitalmx.com/videos/features/Tested-Twisted-Development-FastHouse-KTM-250-SX-F,14754/ML512,13480

And view the javascript console (instructions on how to do so for the main browsers are listed below), once you are able to view the console, please refresh the page (console should stay open) and around 30 seconds or so after loading, you should see a line in the console that starts with 'User Debug:' - please copy and paste that line as a response here.

Many thanks to anyone able to assist.

Thanks for the feedback, Kx125rider, much appreciated. One more test if you don't mind - which of these videos play for you on the same device you were having video playback problems?

Thanks for the feedback, it helps a lot. It looks like either the 2500k bitrate or the x720 dimensions are not supported in your case. One last test please:

Very interesting. Would you mind also seeing if these open for you?

http://v.vitalbmx.com/test/yt_720.mp4
http://v.vitalbmx.com/test/yt_1080.mp4

Both are copies of one of our YouTube videos:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEBLEa_lTdA

Please let me know if that plays as well (at both 720p and 1080p settings).

Thanks again, we really appreciate it.

The first two work fine. The youtube video works fine at 720p, and still works at 1080p but buffers and lags a bit in the riding parts.

Determining a fix for this is still in progress since it has been nearly impossible for us to replicate. I should hopefully have an update later this week. Thanks for your patience.

Chrome just got an update so that probably has something to do with it.
