Videos are not playing.

Post by scigone848 »

Videos are not playing in Slimjet. Tried everything with no luck. I see other people are having the same issue.
Additionally, videos do play in other browser. I hope there is a solution soon as it is very frustrating.

Not much to go on, what happens when you try to play a video? What OS are you using, windows, linux? Did you try turning off any extensions? What else have you tried?

I have the same issue. I tried using --disable-extensions or --incognito, but none of them can fix it.

Here's the list of sites which I cannot play videos (and examples):

tumblr.com
youku.com (http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMzExNDg3MTg2MA==.html)
bilibili.com (https://www.bilibili.com/video/av15870645/)

It seems to be an issue for windows 10 users:

It definitely seems the issues occurred after installing the latest Windows 10 update.. Hoping these issues can be resolved soon.

I found this on another forum, worth a try:
"Go to Settings and untick the box opposite: Use hardware acceleration when available. Restart the browser. Hope this helps."

That box is under 'System' in Settings.

Thanks --
I gave that a try with no luck. There has also been a SlimJet update that also did not resolve the issue.

I was hoping that might work for windows 10 users, but another dead end. Maybe a solution will be found soon? No problem for me on linux.

Well, supposedly it's been fixed:

15.1.7 (11/1/17)

• Fix video play back on Windows 10 with fall creators update.
