[bug] Instagram website can't play videos anymore.

[imshivlok]

Instagram is unable to play videos like reels, stories, video posts, etc. anymore.

It used to work perfectly fine before but recently it just stopped working and throws an error:
"Sorry, we're having trouble playing this video.
Learn More"

I tried Chrome and it worked perfectly fine.
Please fix this asap!

It might be because the ad blocker is on.
It tries to load an ad, fails and throws that error.

I'm like 95% sure about this. I've seen this happen, for a long time.

Disabled adblocker, didn't work.
Cleared website cookies, didn't work.
Cleared app cache, didn't work.
Tried re-logging into my account, didn't work.

Desktop site, worked.
So, it's not really a problem with the adblocker.
Pretty sure.

I see. Hope it gets solved. Works fine on my end

Reddit has the same issues too.
