Upgraded the iPhone to 17.2.1 last night. Now when I select a video from forums to play I am getting black screen with audio. Is this a known issue? I have tried a few videos from different forums and I am getting the same result

I’ve not heard of this before. It almost sounds like there is a missing codec on your phone, although I don’t know how you would even install one on an iPhone. can you try using a different browser?

And I’ve seen a 3rd report on this. There appears to be something in the latest iOS update that is causing it. Clicking the link again appears to allow the video to play.
