Dear Talley,
I have a similar problem to yours and to IKan (sorry if that is wrong name) whenever I am on IE11 (Internet Explorer 11) for Windows 8.1 the whole adobe flash player is screwed up I (99% of the time) get a green screen instead of the movie. I first noticed this a few days after I dowloaded windows 8.1 and other included updates. I have been through many different support sites for windows, adobe, and even the sony website for which my computer is manufactured by. I know now through my searching that it all comes back to the IE11's partnership with Windows 8.1 as also said by IKan.
I found only one temporary solution so far, this is too download another web browser I have only tried Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. Now there may be other web browsers that i have not tested yet but these i know both work with me without needing to download any extras period.
I wish they would soon come out with IE11 update or Flash Update to fix the problem, im sure they will too.
I hope this helps and goodluck

Being as Microsoft took over embedding and updating Flash Player with Windows 8 and IE 10, this "fix" may come from Adobe, but Windows will have to implement it.

Basically i gave step by step instructions (with pictures ) to help fix the video playback issue....
