embedded videos either. Sometimes I get the media won't play message sometimes I get audio but no visual, just a black screen.

This has been going on for 2-3 weeks now. I'm guessing Amazon screwed up with one of their automatic software updates, but since it's not easy to contact Amazon, we have to wait for someone there to notice.
