Videos No Longer Play

Post by scnrfrq »

Why would videos from at least one site no longer play on my home wifi, but they play fine when I'm out of state on vacation? I just get the buffering circle. This is true of SM and Edge. The website support people can not help me.

I don't know. Ask your ISP... or use some VPN service:

Moving to MozillaZine Tech as this is reported to be happening in multiple browsers, not just SeaMonkey.

It may be relative to the support for some channels being dropped by various services.
Broadcast Television sometimes announce a certain channel or function will no longer be available by a certain date.
What is strange is this has nothing to do with broadcast TV but relates to the various providers using cable or other services.
Also there have been some changes with some of the ISPs where streaming had been offered with a new account . . .
. . . but is discontinued at a certain date unless a suggested monthly fee is agreed too.
So TPR75's suggestion makes sense.
Doesn't matter what you say, it's wrong for a toaster to walk around the house and talk to you

Can you recommend a good VPN to use?

Yep, ProtonVPN is very good. It's also Open Source software and it's free.
