I have noticed in the past few weeks or so, many video play backs are erroring out on google/news: Example: https://6abc.com/post/middle-schoolers-create-20-fake-tiktok-accounts-impersonating/15039963/


Message is: Media could not be loaded, either because server or network failed or because format is not supported.

IMO not a network issue......

Thanks John Hutchins

Yes, this message is misleading. Most likely they run tracking scripts along with that video, that are being blocked. As a test, click the shield icon in the address bar and turn off Enhanced tracking protection for that website.
