OK, so what extensions do you have installed - NoScript for example? 
Getting there but getting a black screen usually means that you are not 
allowing javascript - but then you are able to view the video if you get 
there yourself and thru the link. Nevertheless, check your extension to 
see if one of them is blocking that video.

Look, I'll give you this link and see if this comes up:
