Description of the issue: Video doesn’t play, it just sits loading forever. You should be able to replicate the issue by opening the link in a private browsing window. Disabling shields, reloading the page, then re-enabling shields resolves the issue. Exact URL of the website in question: …

@Gigabit , On my end, the video you linked works as intended for me with default browser/Shields settings. I tested on both old reddit and new reddit just to be sure.
