Thank you very much for sharing! I'm afraid atm it doesn't work for me (iPhone SE - iOS 12.3.1 - Firefox & Safari). Nevertheless their work is awesome and the idea to aggregate all the things and let user's enjoy them without having to promise their first-born to providers is just amazing ^_^

Would you mind providing some more details on what issues you're encountering?

The message I get is "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported". It appears in the square where the video would appear (firefox & safari).

It also seems to be in a loop, reloading the page on and on with this result.

The result is the same with mobile internet as with my home connection.

I use this. Got fed up with Google Maps (in navigation mode) constantly trying to get my attention for things unrelated to driving. "We've found a faster route!" it would say, as if saving five minutes on a five hour journey is the least bit useful. Either I take my eyes off the road, fumble for the button to say "ignore that option", then try to re-focus on what I was doing, or it just switches me across to the othe…

Same. Is there a way to disable this? I just had a 14 hour drive, so you can imagine how many stupid things it kept alerting me to. If my wife weren't there to squelch them, I'd probably have tossed it out the window.

I looked for something to alter its behaviour, but there's nothing I can find. I think it's really dangerous, I'm not using Google Maps for navigation again if I can help it.

If there is an instance[0] in your region, I expect that will work better for you. Otherwise you might try adding `&local=true` to the end of the video URL or enabling "Proxy videos?" in your preferences.

Wow thank you very much - the regional server did it! :-D
