Firefox on Mac gives me an error saying media source is corrupted after a few minutes of playing fine, only started happening the last week or so. Google Chrome plays fine.
Firefox on windows won't play at all. Tried edge (lol) and it only plays audio. Firefox mobile is fine
Only issue I had was trying to watch the red rooms DC on linux with my nvidia gpu. It worked fine on windows but on linux the red rooms DC would either give me video corrupted, the browser froze, or would just play the audio stream. I checked the logs and it was looking like an issue with the codec/driver compatibility. I just downloaded the video stream directly and played it in VLC and it was fine.
All the other videos i've tried have been fine on linux.
Heavy breathing
Windows 10 with Firefox, Brave, Edge, Chrome, jDownloader all errors
Firestick 4K with Firefox also won’t work
Worked on iPhone with Safari.
Inspecting the page elements for the download link shows the error using Firefox on Windows 10 LTSC. Can attempt on Linux Mint with Firefox and Chromium if you need it.
Redroom DC obviously
I only have had problems with the last 2 uploads. Chrome, Brave, and DDG all on mobile gives me the same result. Went and checked the WW:Shaman episode and it played fine. Just audio, no video.
did it play fine or was it only audio?
I checked that and some random Pod Awfter shows. They all played fine, loaded audio and video. The only problematic episodes are RR2: DC and the current Burgers episode.
The most recent episodes hosted on the site won't play in Brave browser for me, but work in Chrome. Red Room 2, RR2 DC, and the latest Mr. Burgers episode. The rest of the recent episodes work fine. Then the Will Stancil and Artificial Society And Its Dark Future episodes have the same issue.

Chrome & firefox
please test now and see
It's working! GRNH
For me it was all mobile. But I think you fixed it. I'm able to watch the Burger ep. SHE LIVES!
Not a playback issue but Ive noticed two episodes that are stuck in the preview version for me: ROTC Gets GaS and Revenge of the Cis: World War.
Tested the 2 problematic episodes and they work fine. Thank you.
