@serrodyne it shows 'the video was blocked due to its content' for me. Do you perhaps have any other link that I could try? I could show you how to upload it on an online video hosting site if you'd like and that way everyone can have a easier time watching it. Personally, I use vimeo. You might have to make a free account there, upload the file, copy the direct link and paste here.

Alex, I have relinked the Vimeo. Unfortunately for some reason it down scaled to 720p, I'll see what I can do tomorrow morning but for now this is fine
