Well, I was trying to follow this answer "beamer, media9 – play multiple videos at once", in order to play two videos at the time in one frame.
But the problem is that, after installing the packages movie9, l3kernel and l3packages I'm getting the following error:
! media9 error: "support outdated"
!
! Support package l3kernel too old.
!
! See the media9 documentation for further information.
I tried to update those packages (l3kernel and l3packages) but the error is still the same. I don't know if it will help to the understanding of the problem, but I'm using the following code:
\begin{frame}
%(...)
\includemedia[
addresource=cosafea25.flv,
activate=pageopen,
width=500,
height=500,
flashvars={source=cosafea25.flv &autoPlay=true &loop=true}]{\fbox{Play}}{VPlayer.swf}
%(...)
\end{frame}
I'm compiling in pdflatex with MikTeX in Windows 7.

The *.log file for the code:

\usepackage{xparse}
\usepackage{media9}

\end{document}
is:

I recently had this issue with media9 and beamer.
When I tried updating the packages didn't work for me. What worked however, was to remove and reinstall them (l3kernel and l3packages) using miktex package manager.
