Safari Not playing videos

Hi,

I can't play videos like youtube using Safai, I see the video with the play symbol and when I click on it, it never works.

I experienced this with YouTube and Udemy and some other platforms but all other browser works with me.

Of course, my volume is up so any luck ?

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 14.2

Safari not compatible with prime-video I have tried all the methods suggested: Shift Safari, restarting, clearing cash and history. But I simply cannot play prime video. It started all of the sudden a couple of weeks ago. I alway get this screen below. Is this a permanent glitch or is there a solution out there?

video playback skips a few minutes when user doesn't interact with paused player in Safari Whenever I pause the video and go to another tab, when I go back to the video and click play, it will skip several minutes ahead, if not more than a dozen depending on how long I leave it “paused". This happens only in Safari (using the latest build released with MacOS Ventura) when I playback videos on Crunchyroll, Udemy or Platzi video players. This issue comes from a few safari versions ago (I can reproduce this issue since Safari 14) Steps to reproduce: Play any video for a minute and pause Open a new tab, wait 5-20 minutes Go back to the tab with video Click play Expected result: Video starts to play from the timestamp where it was paused Actual result: Video starts to play from wrong timestamp (where you pause + time you was absent). Noting that if you use Chrome or Firefox user agent within Safari, video players of mentioned websites works as expected.
