Videos on Giant Bomb not playing

I cannot view any Giant Bomb content on the site. The embedded video illustrates the problem. It is like that for any video I try in both chrome and firefox. The problem is there on my desktop PC and my laptop, both running windows 10. This has been a problem for about 1 week.

Same thing if you disable ublock origin? What if you try safe mode in firefox? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode#w_how-to-start-firefox-in-safe-mode

EDIT: Looks like I have the same issue in Chrome but not in Firefox. Tried it in a new profile in chrome with no addons.

EDIT2: Disabling pi-hole did the trick for me, try that or try using your phones internet from your laptop to see if it's your connection in some other way.

EDIT3: Might be that the production-cmp.isgprivacy.cbsi.com domain is blocked in some blocklists..

Disabling uBlock in firefox did the trick, but not in chrome. This issue occurs on other networks as well and on cellular. I don`t use pi-hole.

I guess I`ll just use firefox for Giant Bomb content. The issue randomly appeared seemingly without doing any updates, so maybe it will disappear as well.

I'm curious, can you reach http://production-cmp.isgprivacy.cbsi.com/ on chrome?

Could also be this: https://www.giantbomb.com/forums/bug-reporting-33/network-400-error-trying-to-watch-a-specific-video-1879554/ The log should show what kind of errors you get, just hit F12 with chrome and then click console.

That did the trick! ublock stopped access to http://production-cmp.isgprivacy.cbsi.com/. Turning the block off permanently seems to have solved it. Thank you!

No problem!

Some extra thoughts if anyone else gets this: The EasyPrivacy list had a filter that blocked that domain but it also had a exception that should have fixed it.

This is the exception: @@||isgprivacy.cbsi.com/dist/optanon.js$script

So if you get this maybe update your filters?

Some lists made for piehole doesn't get exceptions like that though...
