Skyleft Posted July 13, 2017 Report Share Posted July 13, 2017 This has been happening for months and I've simply been using chrome whenever I want to watch a stream/twitter video but it's getting so annoying at this point I might completely change browsers if I can't find a solution. In short, twitter videos won't ever play (GIFs will,) and will display a message saying "The media could not be played." On top of that, every single twitch stream never starts playing, and the little circle keeps spinning forever. As I said as soon as I change browsers those problems disappear. I'd really appreciate some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

53657074656d626572 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 I also have been having the problem, even update my maxthon. How are you able to make it play? Twitter vidoes don't play, twitch livestreams don't play only the said broadcaster videos load. Having to change to chrome just to watch twitch videos.

Not sure if things change with live streams. Also, my testing is without logging into twitch. It could be only an issue that shows when logged in. Try without logging in and see if the same happens.

I had no issue viewing your twitch link, although it was not live. I have ABP turned off. 11 hours ago, DeStilleGast said: So I got this problem too with live streams and video's, example: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/156163214 and I think that this is the problem: some more scrolling downwards) I have tried bettertv with userscript, didnt work either (same error) No issue with stream or dev tools with apb turned off. Edit: There are issues shown in console but don't appear to be related to the stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aztex2012 Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Twitter Media will not play and has not for a very long time when using Maxthon .. I do not want a newer version of Mx so do not want to hear to change the browser. Seems like Mx could surely do something to fix this. I am using Windows 7 but it did the same thing on my Windows 8 .. the media plays fine on the other browsers .. just not Maxthon I disabled the adblock extension and that did not help. I disabled the HTML 5 YT extension and that likewise did not help .. I like Maxthon and will continue to use it w/o twitter media playing .. but would be nice if Mx would check it out and FIX this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogain Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I have a similar problem with the various videos posted by friends in Facebook. With the versions after the V 5.0.4.3000 (that is perfect), sometimes a few videos only make sound and video remains black. or Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
