Windows 10 new install. Firefox will play YouTube videos fine (added VLC plug-in) but the above videos on the nbc.com site do not play properly. I can see the video itself by clicking along the progress line, but it does not play in the center screen. The screen remains black with an arrow circling in the center. Any ideas? Could it just be the nbc.com site itself? Thanks for any ideas! Signed, Brainiac (though not in this case!)

When I tried the web page, I found that something was covering the player. Right click on the player and select Inspect Element. Then immediately move the mouse off the browser.

A new window will open. One of the entries will be highlighted. Right click on that entry and select Remove Element. Note: I had to do this twice before the player was accessible to me.
