Troubleshooting checklist

There's a good chance the bug you're about to report is fixed in the new version of Brave

If you'd like to continue for this old version, please check the applicable items:

  • Yes I did try the new version
  • I believe this issue is critical for users (security issue, bug that prevents folks from using the software)
  • I've read the FAQs and Common Issues section on community.brave.com (https://community.brave.com/c/common-issues)

Description

I can't get reddit videos and spotify web player to play. I installed Windvine and yes, I can login into spotify now, but it doesn't play the songs - they get stuck at 00:00. The same happens on reddit, because the videos won't play at all.

But if I put the shields down, all of these work.
