Homework III videos not showing up - Possible Bug

Hello Everyone,
I am having problems with watching the videos of homework 3. When i click them, only the work part shows. When i try to go back to the video, the video area shows "An error has occured. Please try again". Also, it does not save my submitted answer. I guess I'm the only one with this problem so far.

It looks like some of the questions on this homework do not need any videos, that is why they are not there. Good luck with submissions though!

I guess you are right, thank you!

I went through all of the videos when the homework was first posted. They all exist(ed). But, I'm having the same experience as all of you now: the questions only, without the video intro.

Also, I often cannot edit within the interpreter. If I click somewhere to try to insert or delete something, I just get a "boink" sound and nothing else happens. If I reload the page two or three times, then (sometimes) I can edit. I cannot upload my finished solutions.

I'm hopeful that this will be resolved before the deadline for submitting the assignment. I suspect that the issue is system overload, but it would be reassuring to hear from the folks in charge.

Well, @Eenvincible said that the homework did not need any videos because they were very well explained in the comments...However, I think we need an official confirmation from Udacity's team

Homework 3 doesn't seem to have any videos. The work part contains the question. Question 1 doesn't appear to have saved your work when you go back to it, but when I checked my progress it does say it was saved. The other questions will show your work.

I was concerned about that as well. I could not see my answer after it was submitted..

I'd suggest you use the python interpreter on you local machine and keep a copy.

Has the lack of videos been officially conformed or are we just guessing? I liked having a short intro for each homework, so I hope they bring these videos back :(

I think the lack of videos is a bug. I watched videos for problems 1-4 but now all I get is a black screen for problems 1-4.

Thanks for the feedback! I haven't seen any of the videos in the latest homework unit, so it would really seem we're missing something....

i was thinking the same thing too... I hope everyone could solve them without the videos...

I never saw any videos for HW3, my cursor turns into a text cursor when I hover over "Back To Video". It would be great to know if there should be videos! Liked to see them too!

I think this might be an attempt to fix the issue where checkmarks were appearing next to uncompleted homework. Since finishing a video put a checkmark next to the homework (even if you hadn't completed it), maybe they decided to just get rid of the videos until they fix that.

The videos were there yesterday (3/8/12) but they are not there today. At least everybody else is noticing the same thing. I like the videos and hope they return.

I am not seeing any homework videos. Are they important for the homework solutions? Should check back before HW due time to see if the video information changes what I want my answer to be?

I don't see any homework videos at all - just the questions. How are you trying to go back to the video?

I press the link "BACK TO VIDEO" but nothing happens, I checked the youtube link and it shows this link - http://www.youtube.com/?feature=player_embedded which does not point to any video
