Hi,
the same thing happened to me a while ago. I didn't do anything and just
waited a few days. It was corrected with other updates, and I have no idea
of what caused it. I found a temporary solution maybe that can help until
you find out why. If you really need to see the videos use the text editor,
open File System /tmp and copy the video to your desktop (just drag it). Now
you should be able to see and hear the video by double clicking it on your
desktop.

Hope that will help
