Some flash videos won't play in Chrome, while they play perfectly in other browsers. The player will load, but instead of showing a preview of the video and a play button on the middle of the video, the screen is black:

Here's an example of a video that does not work and here is a video on the same site that does work. The video that works is a Youtube video embedded on the site with JW Player, while the nonworking one is probably hosted by the website itself. In both cases it is using Flash. The site is popular and others don't seem to be experiencing this problem.

I am running Win7 64bit and I have no ad blockers installed.

I have found two common solutions to this problem, neither of which work:

Solution #1: Remove all flash application data.

Solution #2: Enable and disable Chrome's built in flash and System's flash.

Any suggestions?
