• Steps to reproduce:
  1. Go to: https://www.nbc.com/americas-got-talent/video/judge-cuts-4/3561932 (US only or use VPN).
  2. Try to play the video.

The video doesn't play.

• Actual result:

Errors in JS console:

This content should also be served over HTTPS.

• Expected result:

Should work as it works in Chrome and Firefox.

• Any related issues:

  • 4803 (Videos on video.ft.com won't load)

+1 I took a quick look today. I can get beyond the: "You have an adblocker, turn it off" dialogue that prevents the content from playing by applying the following filter:

||mps.nbcuni.com^

However, it appears frames drop after the segment is initiated from the player, so we most likely need to dig in a little more and make an exception or provide more detail for the filter.

+1 for this as well.

My info is attached, if that is helpful.
