I've lost track of the thread that may have helped me on this....So even after J's recent browser refresh reminder 😉 I'm going to swallow my pride and ask the CoSoverse: I can't get media to play through On-Demand. Win 10 (all updates applied). Tried Chrome (my default), Firefox, IE and even Edge which I'm using now. All attempts to play a movie return an error. (Image) I've tried half a dozen titles. Not a new issue for me but I've put off asking about it to see if I could figure it out.
@Urbankidx4 On Chrome, have you tried installing the CORS extension?

@JGNWYRK Thanks for the idea. I did not have it. Installed it. Cleared all my cache and such. While I was at it I also disabled McAfee and Click-N-Clean extensions. No change.
@Urbankidx4 once the extension is loaded click on it and make sure that the countersocial address is in the whitelist.
@Urbankidx4
There's a codec pack some of us downloaded which sorted it out.
Hang on and I'll try to find it.
@stueytheround Thanks. That might be the thread I thought I saw.
@Urbankidx4
This is the one.
Worked a treat for me.
@stueytheround Better but no home run. At least now I can get the movie header in the background (image). but that's it. There was one update from the version the link had, and I put that update on as well. Do you remember if there were any tweaks that needed, well, tweaked? 😎
@Urbankidx4 Not for me but @amarand introduced me to the pack so he might be able to give some assistance.
@Urbankidx4 I get this same error code, and being nontech compatible, I just gave up 🤣🤣🤣
I’m on an iPad and can watch movies on my device via Amazon prime with no problem.
If you get an answer, please share it with me and I’ll give it a whirl. 💕
@Knitpurrl I sure will.
@Urbankidx4 I just read through you thread on this issue... too complicated for me, hope it works out for you 🤣💕🤣
Well....now it's more interesting. I don't know if either the codec or the CORS changes affected the scenario. In a random sampling, I found several titles that *will* play; #288 (300), #193(Catch Me if you can), and #194 (Blackfish). 15 other random titles will not start. Including, but not limited to Tomb Raider, 12 Angry men, and 2Guns. There must be a pattern now but I can't see it. I don't think I have a way to interrogate the properties of each to try and compare them.
