M6+ streaming service stopped working after latest update

Brave Browser Web Compatibility
1

Description of the issue:

Since Brave latest update, videos on M6+ (a french streming service) don’t launch.

How can this issue be reproduced?

  1. On https://www.m6.fr/, I need to be logged in to access videos, so I do.

  2. When I click on any video, nothing happens. (“Voir la vidéo” button will light up and then do nothing.)

  3. It’s the only site on which I have that problem. I tried another similar french streaming service (tf1+) and it works fine.

  4. Widevine DRM is enabled and i’ve tried relaunching it, it didn’t work.

Testing on my end I was able to get the button to start loading (“Chargement”) but it never actually started playing. That said I’m also using a VPN for this which might be part of the issue.

Do you see this happening in any other browser for this site?

After further testing, here are the results for laptop and mobile :

Laptop :

  • M6+ works on Firefox, videos launch (with ads, obviously)

  • I tried something on Brave : I took down Brave shields for a few minutes and logged into the site and it worked. Videos resumed working as usual. And when I put the shields back on, videos still launched. I even tried logging out and in again : still works.

    → I don’t understand what happened but it’s **no longer an issue.**

Mobile (Android) :

  • M6+ works on Firefox
  • Taking shields down didn’t work : I was unable to log in.
  • First I manage to log in but then when I click on a video, I have to log in again and then
  • The logging screen refreshes every few seconds, leaving me absolutely no time to put in my login and password.

→ So no success and it seems it’s a problem specific to Brave and this particular site.

Thank you for testing. I’ve reached out to Android and web compat. team to take a look. Will let you know when I hear back from them or have more information for you. Thank you again for reporting.
