Embedded Videos stopped playing

I have a .epub book with embedded videos. The Calibre e-book reader now will not play them anymore. Any ideas?

The calibre viewer has never had any official support for videos. Whether it worked ona given system is entirely accidental depending on whether Qt WebKit was able to connect to the systems video codecs or not.

Use the in browser viewer that is part of the content server in calibre 3.x and your videos should play on all systems.
