Same problem on my iPhone 5 with iOS 9.1, just randomly tonight I no longer can watch videos online (Safari) or in apps (YouTube, Facebook, ESPN, Twitter, MLB AtBat). Just get the twirling circle icon when I click to play a video. So guessing it is either a plug-in or Flash type issue with latest iOS 9.1 software upgrade?!?


This is the second time this has happened to my phone in the last month, totally random timing. Upgraded my phone in late Oct to IOS 9.1 and by early Nov I could not play videos. Then a day or two later the playing video issue just as randomly fixed itself. Getting to videos online or on YouTube and other apps is no the issue but clicking on them pressing play is the hang up / big / software glitch. HELP!!!
