Hello,

I see missing/no episode videos on http://cwtv.com web site like
https://www.cwtv.com/shows/whose-line-is-it-anyway/rachel-bloom-2/?play=3c367371-ef34-43ba-b7ec-c784e63bec33
.... Video doesn't show up in both updated Firefox and SeaMonkey web
browsers in my updated, 64-bit W10 Pro PC. Edge v113 was fine. :(

Is anyone else seeing this? Does this web site hate Gecko based web
browsers? :( Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)

OS: Windows 10 x64 Home 22H2
Web browser: Firefox 112.0.2
Anti-malware: Windows Defender
Location: USA
VPN: No VPN, no proxy

I saw the list of episodes, and they played, but the page took a while
to paint, like maybe 10 seconds. The player frame took the longest to
appear. And that's even with uBlock Origin enabled with my
configuration of it. 36 resources got blocked, and only 12 out of 24
domains were allowed to connect. The counts went up over time. The
videos played for me, and got me laughing.

Have you tried disabling all add-ons, restarting Firefox, and retesting?
Or resetting Firefox which creates a new default profile (no add-ons,
and no config changes in GUI config screens or in about:config)?

Tried temporarily disabling your anti-virus software to remove its
effect on web traffic interception?

I don't have Seamonkey to test with it. No point in testing with
Edge-Chromium since you already said that works for you.

If it works in Edge, then probably not defender doing anything. Wouldn't hurt to try, but my guess is, it's not.

W10 Pro 64 bit

Ditto on SeaMonkey(vid doesn't show up, no play option)

Works fine on FF 112.0.2 and EdgeCr 113.0.1774.35 (both 64 bit)

A VPN will fix that problem.

As long as the exit node for the VPN isn't in a blacklist. VPN exit
nodes, just like Tor exit nodes, have been mapped, so any site can use a
blacklist to block connections from a VPN exit node. You might get
lucky, and the site is merely using IP geolocation for regional
throttling and without employing blacklists on VPN and Tor exit nodes.

A VPN will slow down your bandwidth. Hops inside their VPN network add
more delay.

Also, many ISPs are throttling some connections. Already some have
throttled connections to Netflix. The same VPN and Tor maps can be used
to detect you connecting to an entry node. That they could do it
doesn't mean they do it. I can see why the ISPs that sell video/movie
services would want to deter their users from using some other source
for that content. Not sure why any ISP would care about you using a VPN
or Tor network.

The OP is not reporting the lockout, using Edge-Chromium works for him,
so a VPN is unnecessary to the OP, but Daniel might need a VPN, or a
public proxy to effect the same geolocation falsification.

"... but Daniel might need a VPN, ..." .... but first I'd need to find a
need for one!! ;-P

(Just trying to help Ant out!)

Robert responded to you, because you're subject to geofencing at the
website problematic to the OP. If you have no intention of going there,
or never get hit with geofencing, then you don't need a VPN. I don't
use one, either.

If I hit a web site that locks me out due to geolocation, I go somewhere
else. Very rare a site has content that I cannot find elsewhere.
