  I'm getting that too with Chrome. I'm assuming it's transient, so not stressing too much. My work-around is to navigate away from the lesson page, then return. When I restart, I fast-forward to where I was. But, yes, annoying.

  Sorry guys! We are aware of this issue and are trying to fix it. HTML5 is brand new technology so there are bugs that are hard to work out. That or we're taking stupid pills.
  
  A couple of ways to trigger the error or sure (in other words, avoid doing these):
  1. slow internet connection
  2. multiple tabs with video loading simultaneously, which contributes to (1)
  
  Meanwhile, you can prevent this from happening (at a trade off):
  Go to your "Setting" on the top right.
  Check the box that says "Use Flash Player (prevents html5 video errors)"
  
  The flash player is not as good, but it won't give you HTML5 errors.

  See if this method works..it does 90% of the time for me...so at the beginning of every lesson, I let the video run for 5 secs and then pause it, it buffers and does not give the error...
