     Same old, same old for me:
    1) before the update I could only watch 1 video per day for which I got a reward (choice out of 4, never ever seen this surprise box you are all talking about). All videos that I would watch after the first one, didn't give any awards... they simply are not clickable)
    2) since the last update/maintenance I can't watch any videos at all anymore.

    And I agree with the players who state that it is kind of unfair to read about others who watch videos endlessly and talk about catching 100-400 gold and/or many suprise boxes every day. I get a lot of questions about that too (but guess what, since I have very poor access to the forum (this is the first time I can get into the forum since 2 whole days!), I can't even answer those)!  :(
  • The movietime works great for me - logging in everyday and you can make some gold as a reward - SURE !!! 
    This is a nice gift for us  I'm watching the game promos and get paid, 6 days  I have made about 450 to 520gold, per day this is a nice payout - Im keeping this feature , thank you !!

    The first 2-3 days I had 2 video's a day, always the same 2. After the second , "A realm reborn", I always got an empty screen.
    Then I got about 14 video's for 2 or 3 times, starting with one or two black screens (mabye caused bij Adblocker) then 5x Travian in a row :s and then ending with "A realm reborn" followed by again a blank screen.
    It looks like there is a problem with this video. Whether it is the second or the tenth video it is always followed by a blank screen and then all videos stay away.  :/
  • Who knew watching these videos, if u get them, would become such a chore!!!
    Totally sick of Tillamook cheese!!

    The majority of ads through Utube especially that NestleBaby one will not give rewards after being played. On most days I get rewards from 6 out of 10 ads that I watch so this update is still VERY buggy.

     Are you sure that you're not getting the rewards anyway (without having to click a 'I want it' box)? I've had 20 ads in a day of which only 16 gave the option to click the box, but when I check my drop box there are 20 Surprise boxes in there so I'm still getting rewards for all the ads.

    Positive! Many of the Utube ads dont even go to a play next screen so I have to close the box when its done. I'd be lucky to get 75% rewards given from the ads i've watched.
  • I keep getting The Real Cost anti smoking ad, it doesn't clear at the end so there is no way to claim my reward.

    You mention an adblocker, could you please turn it off and report back if that solved the problem? 

    Adblockers are prone to cause problems with those video ads, so we'd advise you to whitelist Big Farm if you would like to watch these videos. 

    For everybody else: Keep reporting videos that cause problems for you. We'll forward them to the techs in charge over at the ad company. :)
  • Have turned ad block off doesn't make the slightest difference still get a black screen . only vids that work for me are the ones for games.
    My partners farm is also getting black screen after tampax pearl add that just keeps going to mulitple choice vids when it finishes so you dont get a gift.

    Yes, I did notice the Movie theater is a bit glitchy, some adds play with no problems, sometimes, you get an add which blackout your screen and have to close the movie window and reopen it.
    I tested tonight - I have gotten 15 adds total , plus two at the beginning which did not play.
    This is how the movie theater looks whn you can get the offers and get the gifts :smile: 


    and this is the after one add presentation - the rewards & next add offer green "play" button


    I have TV screen/building screen when I click shows the prizes I can get for watching the ads,choice of 4 like about,click that just goes black.Nothing loads,it did up to 3 or days days ago,always the same ads,but have never had the cinema  :s

    I only have Advertisement so far, Suggestion on improvement: Add a skip button on the Ads page.  If we come across those Ads that do not play correctly, either with 0:00 timer shown or black screen, we can skip it and move onto the next. Currently, when I get a zero timer ads, it does not go away until many tries. So if we can skip those bad ads or ads we don't care for, will make this much more pleasant.
    Thanks.

    Update on my experiences:
    Since this morning I can watch the videos now constantly, the rewards are clickable and I do get sometimes different ads (but mostly the same) ...... so far so good  ;)

    EDIT (update) 12.09.2015: but I have never seen a mystery or surprise box yet

    EDIT (update) 15.09.2015: Up until now I see the same pattern: In the morning I can't play videos (screen blank and buttons not clickable) and in the afternoon I can only play 2 videos (buttons are clickable, I get my rewards) but then it stops.
    I always get the same 2 videos, never ever saw a different one. Still never saw a mystery/surprise box yet.

    EDIT (update) 17.09.2015: since 2 days I can only watch 2 videos in a row in the morning CET, then "the theatre" closes and no more videos for the rest of the day. Kind of peaceful. Still never saw a mystery/surprise box yet.

    Just wondering, is GGS testing different formats of the movie theatre? Some of you get this choice of 4 rewards, I get movie reel box which then gives me random reward when openned.
  • Posting for my partner Spider.
    As of yesterday if he clicks the tv screen he gets a black screen . If he clicks the movie couch he gets a white screen.

    Also he can log into forums but cant post anything as it says not signed in when he tries just gets your email and pass are wrong :(
  • There's a bug with this video thingy allowing you to get thousands - even millions - mystery boxes for just one advertisement. I'm having fun. Thanks for this, GGS!

    Are you sure you are not paying for them? There was a bug first that boxes would show up costing 0 gold but you would still pay 250 gold.

    No, so far my gold hasn't decreased. I know that after the fix, the mystery box prices went down from 250 gold to 100 gold. But I haven't been able to buy them or to accidently buy them.

    And zero this morning. :wink:

    For the past 24 hours I've had the same ad over and over - and its an ad that has never paid since I first got the videos

    Sept 13: The whole video thingy didn't work for me this morning. Screen kept being blank ...... only at 2.30 pm CET I could play them again and got the rewards.

    EDIT Sept 14: no ads again this morning, screen kept being blank. Up until now didn't see one single mystery box (whether I click George's couch or the small tv at the bottom of my screen).

    And ..... yes, me too: since the start I get the same 2 video ads over and over again. Nothing new...

  • It would seem that there are 2 different ways of getting videos; either George on a couch or the tv screen and there are 2 different sorts of rewards; either a mystery box or a choice of 4 prizes.
    I am guessing that GGS are trialing the 4 different combinations to see which gives them the level of take up that they require to make it profitable.
    Personally, if the reward was a mystery box I would watch zero ads but for 30 gold a time I watch as many as they will let me. (Sadly, this seems to have dropped from around 17 a day equivalent to 500 gold to only 2 a day worth 50-60 gold :(  )
