why can't i see any screencasts here?

[elh.maayan]

hi..

every time someone tries to answer me  with a screen cast i keep seeing a rectangle saying "404 error" only when they post a direct link i am able to see it. 

do i need to download something?

Hi @elh.maayan

Thanks for posting! You should not be required to download anything to view screencasts on the Forum site.

What web browser are you using? I have had good luck with Google Chrome. I also noticed that Internet Explorer v10 and older are no longer supported by the Forums - if you are using Internet Explorer please try to update or use a different browser.

Please let me know if you have any questions or if this does not allow you to view screencasts - I'm happy to help!

i'm using chrome as well

Hi @elh.maayan

I have moved your post to the Screencast forum, where our screencast team may be able to better help! 

What version of Chrome are you working with? I am on Version 56.0.2924.87. It may be worth updating Chrome if you are using a previous version.

[elh.maayan]

yep , that's my version as well  56.0.2924.87..it's not like i ever disabled chrome updates

hi @elh.maayan, sorry for the inconvenience that you had. Can you please include a screenshot on the error page that you had? Also, please include the link to the screencast that you are trying to view.

Thank you,

Ok try with this, can you view this screencast? or do you see 404 error.

[elh.maayan]

yes, and it's the same version as my browser at work, and i CAN see it (i have remote desktop to my work machine) 

[nguyenph88]

That's interesting. Can you help me to do these steps to troubleshoot:

- Can you view it in other browser? (IE, firefox)

- Are you running under any VPN at work? (If yes, can you turn it off and try again)

- Any extension that may block the embedded video?

Thank you,

Peter Nguyen

[elh.maayan]

let me clarify , the browser at work DOES display the screencast, the one at home does not .

suddenly i started seeing them, not sure what happened, i know i had the same version, but i once had to close chrome (suddnely so it reached 1.8gb in memory, i tend to leave it for days open)

Glad that the problem has solved, that's still a mystery for us. Please let us know when you start seeing this issue again.

Thank you,

Peter Nguyen
