Old videos just playing a black screen?

@dtoast Will be happy to know this info, and yes, it sucks that this took as long as it did, but it was a shockingly complicated issue. But it should be fixed for now on.

Well, one issue fixed, one old one pops back up.

I'm trying to watch some old Whiskey media happy hours and UPFs and it's back to showing just black screens with audio.

I swear this worked earlier in the week. Can any site devs comment on what changed in the backend?

Can you provide a link to some specific videos that are doing this? Also, I can ping @dtoast

@zombiepie: Sure

Both of the above are broken (for me).

And this one works.

Seems like it's reversed the order of things. Old premium video used to work fine, but normal free videos were broke. Now it's the other way around.

I can still watch videos via the direct download link, but then I'm back to videos not saving progress. Arg!

I hate to throw a monkey-wrench into your request, but all of these videos are working and playing normally for me.

@zombiepie: Yeah I was worried that might be the case.

I just tried the videos on Edge and they're all playing, but Chrome is just a black screen. No idea what changed in the last few days. Chrome update maybe?

One more edit: I deleted cookies only for this site, signed back in and videos started loading again. I really hope I don't need to post in this thread again. I feel like I'm going crazy.

Just keep me posted if it happens again :)
