how to determine which video player?

[tomyrush]

I have several web sites that will not play videos - the background shows up but nothing happens.

This url will not play and I suspect I am missing either a player or a codex - is there any way (using url) to determine what is missing?

http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-high ... e=HP_video" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

I tried looking at the xtml source, but that goes on for pages

I can see the advertisement at the start, after that nothing happens - no football game...

I can see/watch various highlights - perhaps there was a temporary glitch at the server...?

Might be a regional thing - I can still only see the ads...

I went to the web site and they need some Akamai software and Flash player.

I run Firefox normally - but I decided to try IE - IE made me install an active X program and reinstall flash player. After that I could run on IE and see everything.

I FOUND THE PROBLEM

it was an adblock plus filter for ads on the NFL site

Thanks

Thanks for posting back with the solution!

Some sites are like that... "You block our ads, we block your viewing." What software were you using to block/filter the ads?

Ad Bloc Plus
