I've seen this issue around with other services using Caddy.
Got an interesting result when I tried to stream Xfinity in Brave Nightly (0.68.48). First I received a message that there was a problem authenticating my account, and it needed me to sign out and sign back in. When I signed back in, however, I was back to the "Sorry, we're having some trouble" message.

Same issue here: Version 0.68.132 Chromium: 76.0.3809.132 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Several users on Community reporting this (again): https://community.brave.com/t/problem-with-flash-player-loading-running/78862/4
Not really familiar with Brave - but saw this thread and have been looking at some similar issues - so just a couple things to check out:
Does Brave use Chromium's PPAPI integration of Flash? If so Flash DRM relies on the RLZ buildflag being enabled or otherwise unblocking the GetMachineIDAsync call in device_id_fetcher.cc (https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/chrome/browser/renderer_host/pepper/device_id_fetcher.cc?l=46) in order to perform the DRM individualization step.
There was also a regression in Chromium where the origin header for a CORS call was set to null that broke xfinity.com/stream scenarios if the "Out of Blink CORS" experiment was enabled (the default state): https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=994461&can=1&q=xfinity&colspec=ID%20Pri%20M%20Stars%20ReleaseBlock%20Component%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20OS%20Modified
+1 -- Received input from the community that stated he could not stream from Xfinity.com. He turned on Flash.
Tried this myself -- turned on Flash in Brave 1.0 and went to Xfinity.com/stream and it continues to say "Let’s get your Adobe Flash Player up and running." but doesn't prompt for the install.
+1 -- just encountered this issue today, constantly being prompted to install flash with flash already allowed (On flash test sites it is not noticing flash being allowed either even when I allow it. Maybe its a pepper flash issue?). I did notice that I can still stream tv on other sites (such as espn.com and foxsports.com/live) with my xfinity account, the xfinity.com/stream app is the only site with the issue.
I was also never prompted for widevine on netflix or hulu (I installed brave a few days ago now).

@Brave-Matt @hollons have you all seen reports of this recently?
@bsclifton it's not something that I've seen reported recently. Will keep a close eye out.
OK I'll close this out - we can re-open if we see it again 😄 Thanks @hollons
