Can't Play Facebook Videos

Hey guys.
Running the latest version of Chrome and it's developed an issue where it will no longer play Facebook videos. I press play and then the video will reload with the play button still in the middle of the video and won't play at all.
It's the same in incognito mode too. I've cleared cache and cookies, made sure flash and javascript are set to run, disabled extensions one by one to see if one of those was to blame (it wasn't). ran Ccleaner to clean my PC, checked my antivirus and anti-spyware to make sure that they weren't blocking the video part of the site. I've tried Firefox and the videos play fine so I'm not sure what the problem is.
I know that I could just use Facebook but I like the speediness of Chrome.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thank you.

Just an update:
I disabled and enabled all my extensions one by one to see if it was one of those causing the problem and identified that RefferControl was to blame. I've set an exception for Facebook to send the original referrer and now videos are playing again.2019 Wins
