I quite often have issues with playing newly posted NZ herald videos, for at least 3 or so months from memory. 

eg, this one...

http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11941080

The play button is purple, I move the mouse over the video and it turns grey but when I click the play button nothing happens. 

I double checked, and it is a similar issue in the MS edge browers, and same on a different PC too. 

Anyway to fix this? (assuming that the issue is on my end)
