 Don't know why but after the website ui change. The video player suddenly changed for me.It has now default html5 video player even after refreshing and clearing cookies i cant see the YouTube video player. It has become inconvenient to learn since the html5 player only supports mouse events.

  Hi. I just joined Udacity, and the course material is really good, a fresh breath of air. But the player is absolutely atrocious.

  If you want to use the VJS player instead of YT, that's cool, Udemy seems to work just fine with it, but please make sure the hotkeys work. At the moment, I can's pause the lecture with Space or any other hotkey, I can't skip back/forward. It's really essential functionality for taking video lectures, hope it gets fixed very soon.

  I am fed up of this VJS player. I'm not able to play/pause using space bar, forward & rewind using arrow key.

  Please bring the youtube player back to my account.

  I just met with the team. We have no current plans to switch back to the YouTube interface. If you do have suggestions on how we can improve the current video experience please share and I can report those back to the team.

   

  Thank you
