Hi, I just attempted to view the Savvy Modeler video titled "Why the Hobby Isn't Dying" while reading the March 2021 Running Extra in Acrobat Reader, but when I click the view arrow, all it does is display a tiny wristwatch icon for ~20 seconds - and nothing after that.  The problem can't possibly be my Youtube account, since I have an active Youtube Premium subscription.  Is there some other way to view this video other than from within Acrobat?

 

Thanks...

Try this

If you click the comment or rating button, you should go to this webpage: https://model-railroad-hobbyist.com/magazine/mrh2021-03/savvy-modeler From there, click the Read this article link and it should come up in the online edition. From there click the video and it plays fine. For some links, you need to tell Adobe Reader to trust the link or you will get nothing. Kind of annoying.

Bingo!

Thanks Joe, it worked perfectly when I viewed it in Chrome! 

I do remember seeing that "trust" question the first time I clicked [in Acrobat] and I thought I clicked the box to say "Yes", but it might not have been the correct one.  The typeface on that dialog was very tiny and I could barely see it, even with my reading glasses on...
