Videos not loading/playing

This issue just started yesterday. I’m pretty sure the problem is on my end; I’ve tried clearing my browser cache/cookies, checked my internet connection, and restarted my laptop and videos still won’t play. Anybody have any ideas?

Every video I try to play (even the ones I post) gives me this:

I even tried disabling ad blocker plugins, but no luck.

When I open Firefox in Troubleshooting Mode, I can get videos to play, so I think there’s some plug-in/add on that is interfering with video playback. If only I could figure out which one it is!!! Argh, this is frustrating.

I’m on Brave and Duck Duck Go

I think I have found the culprit. Disabling Ghostery on this domain now lets all videos play normally. Hopefully it stays like this. I can deal with one fewer ad blocking/tracking plug-in on this forum.

Hey, I just saw this. Is it working now? I haven’t changed anything since I added MultiLingual, so I don’t think the issue is the forum.

Now… if your VPN is like mine… I have noticed the site gets funny if the VPN isn’t set to USA. I’ve got the free version of CyberGhost VPN Chrome Plugin thing. It’s got a USA setting and doesn’t seem to slow regular sites down.

It is working now. There was a browser add-on (Ghostery) that was causing problems. Disabling it here fixed the problem. I don’t know what the specific issue was, something about blocking trackers was causing interference and making it disable video playback, but whitelisting this site made the problem go away. All videos are playing normally now. Thank you. :grinning:
