Bingo. Pretty much all of them were the ZP vids. They messed around with their embeds apparently.

Yeah, I got my Bronze back two days ago. My comment list since then is an almost uninterrupted steam of * deads and * lengths, just because I can. I suspect most of the ones on your list are the Zero Punctuation videos. I noticed a few dead ones and went through Zifnab's ZP playlist.

Thanks for pointing my dead ones out. I was able to fix a bunch of 'em.

They looked like problems to me as well, I've fixed 'em all up now. Cheers

Ah, crud, I hope this isn't what's happening to me on all the ZP videos I'm dead-ing. I saw this comment by ForgedReality on the Enslaved review.

Embed no worky for me.
edit - Oh crap. I reload about half a dozen times, and it won't show up for me. I give it 30 minutes and come back again and now it's fine. >:[ So yeah, nevermind.
Have they all looked dead to you, too?


Edit: On the "plus" side, it looks like all of the ones posted in the last year and two months are working fine, so I suspect that it's a real problem with the old embeds.
Edit edit: Man, you're fast at fixing those! I'm done with the ZP playlist. Everything else looks like it works! (And everything should have a time on it now, too.)

No kidding you are on it, my inbox is on fire. I think they are all fixed now. Thanks

I'm on it! (Oddly, while I've seen quite a few with an old player style, there are a whole bunch that appear to have the proper player, but they throw a "Player Initialization Failed" error. I hope those are actually dead...)
In reply to this comment by Zifnab:
Go ahead and call dead on them and they can be fixed. The Escapist has changed their embed format a couple of times which has caused problems with old ones.
In reply to this comment by ReverendTed:
I'm getting a lot of errors watching old Zero Punctuation embeds, but I'm not sure that I want to call "dead" on them in case it's a transient issue on Escapist's end.
