Aloha @Shane,

Wow - a Betamax!  Actually, even though we didn't have one (we didn't even have a TV for years), all of my friends that owned one said that it was the better format, but the porn industry has their money in VHS, which is why Betamax lost.  I don't know if there is any truth to that story, but that reasoning came around again with Bluray vs. HD DVD.  Your reference to Betamax actually dates the both of us, as I remember it as well

Where do you work?  It sounds absolutely delightful hahaha I am the opposite of you, as I am referenced as the "Token Mac Dude" here at work.  I am surrounded by Windows people, and as a matter of fact, depend on Windows (along with Solaris and RHEL) for my job.  I work in IT and have to support all flavors of Windows.  I just say that Microsoft provides my paycheck, but my preference is a "real" OS, Mac OS, which I use at home  To make it worse, I am retired US Navy and work with a bunch of retired US Army types.  I constantly have to keep them in step with me and have to teach them English (Navy English, that is).  They still don't know the location of the head and the scuttlebutt, but I"m working on that.

To each their own, however.  OSs are kind of like religions - if what you have and use works, more power to you.  I have my preferences and they work for me.  Unfortunately, I can't provide any assistance with your issue.  We don't normally allow the (military) units that train at my building access the internet, unless an internet cafe has been requested, but we have had no issues with streaming video as of yet.  Of course, you mentioned that you're running Windows 8.1, which he US Army hasn't deployed as of yet.  We're up to Windows 7 with the Army Gold Master build, but even with all of the security fixes and tweaks applied, there has been no issue with streaming video from any website used thus far.  I think you're right in that you should check the settings of both your work computer and your home computer if, in fact, you can watch the videos on your work computer.

One other thing I failed to ask you is whether you have seen any error windows and, if so, the syntax of the error or warning statement.  Oftentimes, that can provide at least the first step in determining the cause, and possible solution, of the problem.

Good luck and I hope you find the answer to this issue.  I know how frustrating it can be when something just doesn't work correctly, or at all (the reason I switched to the Mac in the first place).

Aloha @Shane,

When you say it "doesn't work", whited you mean, exactly?  Does an error window pop up, or do you get an error code in the browser window?  As it doesn't work on your office computer, my assumption would be that the issue lies with your computer setup, as others with Windows 8.1 do not have the same issue, although you mentioned your tablet as well.  I'm just taking a stab in the dark here, but when was the last time you updated your OS on each of your devices?

I did a full 22 years, but successfully avoided nuke school.  I was told that I would have to endure 2 years of math in A school, and math has never really been my friend.  I ended up going to boot camp with no plan, as I was told I could apply for an audition for the Navy band at boot camp, another lie told me by my recruiting office.  It turned out OK, as I went to the Airman apprentice school and was shipped out the the USS Eisenhower (CVN-69).  I got to work on the flight deck in V-1 Division, which was really cool.  That caused me to seek out Air Traffic Controller school, but I wasn't cut out for that, so I switched to Cryptologic Technician, Interpretive (CTI) and stayed there until I retired.  Had I not made that choice, I would never have met my wife, so that is one decision I'm really glad I made!  Thanks to the Navy, I've visited nearly every continent (only missed South American and Antarctica), albeit in only 3- and 6-day chunks.

Wow, so you went from being a nuke to a priest.  Talk about changing your surroundings!  You can certainly use your violin in church.  I understand what you mean about your computing use and hope you can figure this out.
