Should the videos be repeating or auto advancing? I think it would make more sense for them to be advancing.

@cueno: Hi! The repeat/loop feature was added mainly for short animation cycles, but I agree it gets on the way for longer training. We are planning improvements for tutorial series, auto-advance will definitely be there!

We solved an issue with CDN code creating unique urls. Things should be all fine again. Please check!

I keep getting the following error when I try to wath videos (randomly): "HTM5: Video File Not Found" followed by a URL like, "http://test-blendercloud.r.worldssl.net/%3Chex-digits%3E/%3Chex-digits%3E.mp4?secure=%3Calphanumeric-digits%3E-%3Calphanumeric-digits%3E==,%3Cnumeric-digits%3E;".

This shows up in the Video Player when I click the "Play" button on the video. At first, when I started the series, episodes 3 & 4 were having this issue, but, then the issue went away for those episodes, but, then episodes 1&2 have the issue. Now, I'm up to episode 5 and it is having the issue. Is there something going on with the back-end servers? Maybe an issue the CDN's?

It tuns out, that about 1/2 the videos are having this issue when I go down through the list. Episodes 5, 6, 7 but not 8 for example are having the issue as well. Yesterday, episodes 1 & 2 were having thei issue too, but, now, only episod 1 is having the issue. The day before episodes 3 & 4 were having the issue. It seem like maybe an issue of videos not propogating to all nodes of your content deliver network or cluster perhaps?
