HuffPost videos won't play
-
Just started this morning, was working fine. Only from Huffington Post though, others play just fine. Any ideas on why? Thanks for your help! :^) gene

@genej101 I got a couple of Network Errors with Mariah Carey's video; other played OK. Probably too much traffic.

No ideas? It is only this browser. Same extensions running on all others and everything works fine there. I like Vivaldi even though it doesn't have iOS versions and use it on my my Win 10 Pro desktop as well as my MacBook Pro. Even FireFox, with its more stringent security has no issue with Huffington Post. I'd be sorry to lose this one but I need the browser to serve me, not the other way around. Should also mention that it is videos on a web page that ought play automatically only that are the problem. Haven't changed any settings recently.
I am running Ublock, Malwarebytes Browser Guard, and a YouTube Enhancer. I've tried disabling them all and still have the same issue in Vivaldi though nowhere else. It shows the video loading, then the container goes black and stays that way. All containers on the page do.

@genej101 Does it work in a Guest profile?
Even if you have the same extensions in other browsers, you should still disable all of them and try. There might be settings that block something.
Giving an example video would also help. I can see the vids on the main page itself, but not even sure that's what you mean.

@Pathduck I did disable everything, all extensions. Still wouldn't play. It is only Huffington Post, I get a newsletter, clicking a story opens it in a new tab, they almost always have a video at the top, sometimes in the body of the article too. The video briefly flashes the content, then goes black. Same with any others on the page. Only that site. Everything else works fine. This has happened before, but I didn't make note of what fixed it. My bad.

@Gwen-Dragon I cleared the cache, opened media-internals (took me a while to figure that out) but got both elements you mentioned saved it two files. Submitted a bug report, will wait for the response to send them the files. Thanks so much for your help. I'll report back the result here when I have one. :^) gene
The video didn't play in the link you provided either. :^)
