I've noticed intermittent difficulty loading the actual video files sometimes, which can cause unexpected delays where a video doesn't work for several minutes, then starts working fine when you go back and try again.
This may be an issue with the caching infrastructure or the Swift backend, or interactions between them. Not sure whether this is the problem that was reported in this instance, or an unrelated problem. -- brion On Nov 29, 2015 2:20 PM, "Pine W" <[email protected]> wrote: > I was having the same black screen problem yesterday.
