Do you have Widevine enabled at brave://settings/extensions? If so, please try toggling it off, then back on.

Do you also see the same issue if you toggle Shields off temporarily?

Does a Private Window help resolve the issue?

Not sure what happened overnight but it seems to be working again. I had widevine enabled previously yet it wasnt working, but now all of sudden, without any changes to my settings, it works.

I appreciate your time a lot and will let you know if I have any issues soon.

They had server issues.

Completely unrelated to Brave, and yes, it was AWS as Prime Video had the same outage.

The more people rely on AWS or Microsoft Azure (this includes Brave too), when they go down, everyone can go down.
