Videos not showing?

I'm using all the cockhero websites that are out there and I'm coming up with some videos missing. I really want to see some of the new videos as a lot of the ones I do have on my HDD are getting old. Do you guys think I could get a suggestion for what to do? For example, how do I get an empornium account? Sorry if this question is overused and obnoxious, but right now I can't find anything through google.

This happened to me when the site moved to https and my brower (Firefox) hid the link

Here is a direct link to a youTube video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vA4YSu7uU88

Here is the embedded video

If you don't see it, then in the top left of your brower is a pdlock with an exclam on it which you click on and set to turn off the protection.

Do you know the technical term for what's happening? I'm using chrome and I'd like to do this to chrome also. Thank you by the way.

Do you think it's my browser or is the video just down from wherever it's hosted from?

http://cockhero.org/287/cum-challenge-6-short-cuts-2/

So we're on the same page, do you think you could visit this and tell me?

This video doesn't display for me. I get a connection not secure in an information icon, but it's not the same as the youTube issue it seems. I don't know about Chrome, but it could be both browsers are implementing some checking.

When I open the video in Microsoft Edge, I see a different error. When I try to open the Video, I get a Google Drive error about a violation of terms of service. So I think it's an issue with where the file is hosted, and the user that posted it has been revoked.

This video (and some of the others hosted / linked at cockhero.org) don't show for me, either. If you know enough about HTML and JAVA you can read the page source and it looks (from my end, at least) like the page itself is the problem. It's not, "Oh, this video failed to play." Rather, it's "There's not a video there. There's NOTHING there." So it seems.
