When I press play, I can't see anything

Hi,

Once I press play video, it just displays a black screen.

I have refreshed and restarted my browser. Any suggestions?

Are you still having the problem? Maybe it has something to do with the size of your browser window. Sometimes I have difficulty with the code challenges if I have my browser window sized to small.

Hi Clayton,

I have re-started my machine and cleared cache and the issue is still repeating itself, I think it may be something to do with the HD quality, as I have just downloaded the standard definition version of the video and it is displaying fine.

Thanks,

James

It seems there is something wrong with the HD version of this video. If you go to the downloads tab you can view the SD version, but even the HD version from there has no video. Seems like treehouse uploaded a blank video and missed it on accident?
