I realize not all videos are playable without Flash just yet, but most do play perfectly without it these days, especially when embedded on other sites. However, playing those same videos directly on YouTube (or sometimes embedded on another site) doesn't work. It says Flash is required to view the video, which is clearly untrue since I just watched it.
Examples: Embedded YouTube-video plays here but not here for some odd reason.
Why would the same video (I checked the ID) play on the front page but not in the forums?
This particular video also works directly on YouTube, but my most common issue is with embedded videos not working there.
So it all seems a bit random to me and hard to figure out why it's happening.
First and foremost I am looking for an explanation to the phenomenon, but if a solution can also be found that would be welcomed as well.
