CNN.com videos don't play

beansandfranks

Hi guys.
I recently updated to the latest VV -- see below. I'm a fan!

Anyway, CNN.com videos in the US don't play. Sometimes, you'll get audio but usually nothing.

Also at that time, the number of VV running processes can jump from about 8 to like 20! I have about 12 tabs open but I always hibernate all tabs not being used at the time.

On CNN.com, I disabled my privacy add-on (Privacy Badger). (That is the only extension I have.). I also clear cookies frequently but not after I initially load a new page.

All other video pages seem to run for me. Just not CNN.

Thanks for your help!

From Canada I am having no problems either with streaming or recorded videos using the latest Snapshot

Folks,
I'm saying that it strictly has to do with video clips on CNN.com!
Thx

Just now I played videos on CNN just fine. Maybe you should add a user agent to your extensions, and set it to spoof Vivaldi as Chrome. See here:
