1. Suddenly most videos just won't play on my Kindles. Could you describe the scene for me?

Thanks!

2. Mind also. Someone posted a possible solution in the past week, but I have been unable to find it.

8. I wonder whether something in the Kindle software updates has screwed up their

ability to play most videos. I have several Kindles that I use each day (I read A LOT, so I have 2 charging while reading a third), and this video glitch occurred in all of them at once.

Sometimes a video will just say, "Media could not be played," but sometimes the audio will play, but there will be no visuals at all, just a solid black box.

A (very) few videos do play, but I can't tell why they are exempted from the glitch.

Someone last week said to download a fast reboot all from Google Play. I don't know if that would help.

If you try it and it works, please DM me and let me know.

19. I've had this Kindle problem for a while now!

It's frustrating. Sometimes silent black, sometimes black with sound, sometimes they play. It only seems to happen with videos embedded into posts like at DU. No trouble playing videos at YouTube.

Your post is the first I've heard that it's not just me! I have not looked into a solution at all, so I'm afraid I can't shed any light on it.

What did you mean by "download a fast reboot all from Google Play"?

21. Apparently there's some app. I have no idea--it's advice someone offered in a help forum. nt

22. BTW, the fact that the problem showed up simultaneously on all three of my Kindles

indicates that the tablet itself hasn't gone bad.

7. Little kid counting.

Comes back as an adult in his Air Force uniform and does the counting again.
Adorable.

14. Same here!

18. I just bet one of their automatic updates screwed up the video function. Maybe they will notice and

eventually fix it.
