I think I got a good one for you:

just gone onto the BBC web site and none of the video etc is playing - it just a white hole!!! - not even an mention of you do not have the correct flash player etc

when I right click and the short menu comes up - movie not loaded is grayed out

but the speed of web etc it working fine - this one got me foxed big time

also this is happening both on FF and IE are the same result - I have just down loaded flash again to see if that was it - it not that easy - even tried using FF with the IE tab and still will not work

but go to BBC iplayer and it works fine 100%!!!!!!!

I been testing FF on the stick app but I used the web since and all was fine

I running vista 64 bit

Have you got VLC media player installed? It's been causing a few problems lately with it's plugins... I uninstalled the plugins and vids everywhere started working again :)

I just remembered that last night I tried a friends laptop to see if it just my computer and he had the same problem and his laptop had IE8 installed - because everyone in the house uses my internet

The only video players I have are:

real
bbc iplayer
media player
quick time

I am sure I have more but nothing like the one mentioned
