Twitter videos not being played on DU

Hi all:

Working off a Chromebook right now. I cannot watch Twitter videos posted in DU posts. Until yesterday or so, it was working fine. I can play YouTube videos in DU posts with no problem.

It looks like I cannot watch them directly on Twitter either.

On both DU and Twitter, I get a revolving white circle for a few seconds that sometimes reappears, and then a message saying "Media cannot be played".

Any thoughts?

TIA!

Really need guidance on this. Can't get twitter videos to play, on DU or on Twitter itself. I'm using a Chromebook now. On my PC, it works fine.

I've cleared the cache, cleared the browsing data, and even performed a soft reset. Still nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas?
