I'm confused @Andy_W - you're saying that enhanced player IS working, and standard player ISN'T, and you're suggesting the fix to enhanced player is what has now broken standard player?
When you said it wasn't working Friday night, was that standard player, or enhanced?
Thanks Darren. Just loaded Firefox and I can get both standard player and enhanced video (French matches offering standard player only).
I can live happily with this workaround for some time. It happened one time before, a couple of years ago. Eventually there Safari glitch was corrected. Hopefully this current glitch will be corrected before too long.
