I am having a problem with all videos (both streaming and offline) not playing at all on my iPhone 6. On my iPad, videos play fine, but no go on the iPhone. Anybody else having a similar problem? ;(

Same/similar problem here. Most of the videos I try to play on my iPad play the audio but leave the video screen black. Works every time on the 6+. I don't have issues with using You Tube via the application but do get the black screen if the video is linked or imbedded.

Like mpfuchs said above you. "Strange"

My iPhone 6 has played all videos just fine on PB 1.

I have this problem on my 5S and iPad air 2, I can fix it by pausing the video that won't play and then dragging the scrubber forward, unpausing, then move it all the way back to the start again and they start playing for me. Otherwise no videos will play for me.

Ditto here. The strange thing is that video played fine on iOS9 right up until yesterday.

Videos now play with today's update, but there is a noticeable lag before they start playing.

unable to play videos on my IPHONE 5s. But every so often it does play the audio.

On my iPhone 6 Plus I get the black screen when embedded videos play. If I go out and refresh the page (if possible) it'll usually start playing with the video. Submit a bug report using the Feedback app folks.
