Hello,

I'm finding that videos aren't working on my iPad this morning; when I go to a page with a video embedded, there's no "big red play button". It was working fine last night, but not today. Have tried installing the latest iOS update, but it made no difference.

Would be great to get any advice! Thank you.

I have this exact same problem, pages load but nothing in video box anymore. I was also totally fine last night and never had issues before. Using IE11 on surface 2 rt. Guess they must have changed something, anyone know how to fix this?

Same problem on an iPad, using Chrome. I was watching GB videos on there just about every day with no problem, until last night.

Same issue here. iPad Air, 8.0.2. Restarted both browsers and device. I thought I was going nutty last night and then switched to Video Buddy app hoping it was just a bad dream. Video windows are just a blank black box.

Edit: After I posted this I realized my membership badge was not showing up. My subscription did not auto-updated and had expired this week (I didn't receive an email or note notifying me either). Curiously, although the subscription had expired I was not seeing any of the ads on the site and only today did I notice the 'subscribe to watch' button next to the latest premium content.

Same problem, although I'm on a Surface RT, i.e. Internet Explorer as the only browser choice.

Same problem on android with chrome. The video box is just black and there's no play button. Clicking it does nothing

Same here, issue started about a day ago on my iPad 2 (using the Safari browser). And oddly enough, I'm having no problem loading/watching videos on the Safari browser of my iPhone 5, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with all mobile browsers.

I can't reccomend the Giant Bomb Video Buddy app highly enough, solves this problem really well

Yeah it's great, unless you're on a Windows tablet.

It looks like the engineers have made some stabs as to figuring out what's going on here. I'll let @edgework or @tsubomi let you all know how things are going.

@spctre: the 'Giant Bomb Video Thing' is a pretty good app for watching videos on a windows tablet.

I am also having this problem on my iPad Pro. Watching the videos by downloading works, but I cannot watch the current live show.

It works on my iPhone though.
