Do you use an Ad-Blocker? I was having the same issue, and disabled it on their website. Now I'm able to view their videos.

On the Vista pc they don't play at all not even in safe mode
on windows 10 pc they play only in safe mode

if i just disable ABP nothing happens
i have no problems on other websites

From what i can tell it's ad blockers that cause the black screen, they are forcing ads to get to the actual video clips now.
This happened like a month ago and ad block plus managed to bypass the ads but fox changed something again and u are forced to watch the ads again.
I'd wait a few weeks and try to play with ad blocker active and they might have it fixed again.

They play on mine with adblockers enabled, but I keep getting "Network Error" on them and it stops playing.

Update: the network errors I was having were because of some stuff that was running in the background. They are playing OK for me with ad blockers enabled.
