D.U. problem with videos. This happened the last two days,

I attempt to click on a video and a message appears, telling me to log in, confirm my identity - whatever.

But there is no link to do that. Given that there are comments about the videos, other people are able to view these.

I’m not sure what happened. But after I updated to IOS 18 it went away. There’s also a iOS 17 update you might try.

I wondered if it was the update that fixed it or if the update cleared the browser cache.

My videos just started having this issue recently too.

When I pause my VPN, and reload the page the film is on, it then plays out okay.
