Udemy videos do not play with Shields OFF

See original GitHub issue

Description

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Go to https://www.udemy.com/the-complete-javascript-course/learn/lecture/5869076#overview
  2. Hit play on the video
  3. Infinite Loop (video doesn’t play and console gets spammed)
  4. Console shows:
     VIDEOJS: WARN: Problem encountered with the current HLS playlist. HLS request errored at URL: HTTPS://h.udemycdn-a.com/851712/13059092/2018-06-20_14-09-58-c0ee9005191996b8b7a78bca8a0d912a/hls/hls_480/aa00ace74f03aa29f7b4bd0558ea42ff3b427.ts Switching to another playlist.
    
  5. Chrome & Firefox doesn’t have this issue and console doesn’t log these warnings in both.
  6. Disable Shields (shields down, you’re browsing this site without privacy protection…): It still happens.
  7. Enable ALL cookies in “Global Shield Defaults” and refresh the page… The site will load.

To reproduce the issue multiple times, clear your cookies and try the steps above.

Actual result:

Just Allow all cookies, that should fix it.

I am also having this problem, I tried everything, but just changing the browser worked.

Do you have brave://settings/?search=widevine enabled? (Maybe disable, restart browser and then re-enable widevine)

Have had report extensions causing issues (Chrome dark mode?) on udemy also. @wejesuss
