Description
Embedded Patreon-Videos (not from external sources) don't load, I don't think it has to do with DRM. Right-clicking on the video and opening video link in a new tab plays it perfectly fine. Example: https://www.patreon.com/NightVenom/posts/nvphotorealism-168130332?utm_campaign=patron_engagement&utm_source=post_link&post_id=168130332&utm_id=93621f00-48c3-4c26-8795-0b548aa0f189&utm_medium=email
Edit: Could be reproduced in vanilla Chromium.
How to Reproduce?
- Go to any Patreon creator
- Check posts with embedded non-Youtube videos
Actual behaviour
Video screen is just black, no loading circle.
