If you right click on the black bar it says Adobe Flash Player. I didn't have Adobe Flash Player so I downloaded the latest version yesterday and nothing changed. I think my Microsoft virus blocker is blocking these videos. I have Windows 7 Pro and use IE. No problems with any other videos.

Embeded YouTube videos have been displaying and playing normally for me when I use the Firefox browser but using I.E. browser all I get is the 'black bar'. Right clicking on 'black' bar with I.E. opens a little window with Adobe Flash options and info. Right clicking on the embeded YouTube video player using Firefox browser opens a similar option window but says "About the HTML5 Player". Clicking on the "About the HTML5 Player" leads to this at the YouTube website: https://www.youtube.com/html5 YouTube HTML5 Video Player
Many YouTube videos will play using HTML5 in supported browsers. You can request that the HTML5 player be used if your browser doesn't use it by default.
If you encounter any problems, right-click on the player and choose "report playback issue", or let us know on the user support forums. Your feedback will help us continue to improve the player.
What does this browser support?
HTMLVideoElement
H.264
WebM VP8
Media Source Extensions
MSE & H.264
MSE & WebM VP9
The HTML5 player is currently used when possible.
Supported Browsers
Many browsers support both the video element in HTML5 and either the H.264 video codec or the WebM format. These include:
Google Chrome
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Firefox
Opera
Apple Safari

Thanks, but I right clicked and left clicked and nothing happens.
An enigma?

Well something is going on and the folks at You Tube appear to be aware. It's definitely not a personal system problem. Surprised Rick has not weighed in.
g5m if you're using Safari the right click does not give you the same result as FF and others.
Found this so some escalations have been made. ZOMBIES!!

Mine was having this problem several months ago. Nothing I did seemed to help. But one day I logged on and its been working just fine ever since. Only thing I can figure is I recieved a new update on something that fixed the problem. Wish I could tell you what it was.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost....

Scott- what I did was just copy and paste the YouTube ID # into the embed video box that pops up. You can put either the ID or url into that box. The ID for your video is 2iFo1TrYMq4. Thanks. [video:youtube]2iFo1TrYMq4[/video] Looks like it works now. This one still shows a black bar for me, as does the one above. Using Chrome and ABP.

Would sure like to know what the problem is. I'm using Firefox, Adblock Plus and Adobe flash, all updated, no problems. Same. Plus CCLEANER.

Too many people, including myself are experiencing this. This has nothing to do with individual computers. This is a Rick issue.

I'll make heads, tails, port and starboard with that! Seriously, still happening.
It's about like this:
"Do you puff peters?"
"Hell no!"
"NAZI!!!"

We haven't done anything on our end. Adobe sounds like a great place to start, as they are perpetually behind the curve.

Too many people, including myself are experiencing this. This has nothing to do with individual computers. This is a Rick issue. How do you figure that, since there are lots of us here that are having no problems? Every problem seems to get blamed on Rick, but I figure it is the settings on individual computers. Lots of different ways to configure them, and I am not one to know how, but mine seems to always work. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

I don't think this is Rick's problem. I have the same issue on other web sites that have embedded video in them.

Youtube changed the way embedded video code works on the bulletin board software he uses and he needs to update his embedding code. https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?f=438&p=14499886
