OMZ, i think i might have solved it! 😲

It seems like my entire historic misery with this stream site might be due to a problem with my browser AddOn, , that i'd never before noticed / realised.

See my explanatory notes in the pic's .

I now feel quite stupid for never noticing this before, & not realising that the problem seems to be caused by Feedbro & NOT Veronica's site at all. 🙄🤦‍♀️

Sorry also for having wasted your time.

Feedbro RSS feedreader Addon UI in my browser. There's a column of individual feeds for the currently selected channel on the LHS, whilst the RHS pane provides text info for the selected feed. At the top of the RHS pane i have highlighted in green the feed's title... which in fact doubles as a hyperlink to the relevant page on the channel's host website for this video. I have also added a happy-face three-hearts smiley emoji next to this green link. This denotes that every video i tested today using this top link, worked flawlessly. The three i tested are denoted by big green ticks against them in the LHS list. The bottom of the RHS pane shows another, & ***different***, hyperlink, which i have highlighted in red & added an angry-face emoji, to denote that all videos played via this link MISBEHAVE in the way my earlier toots in this thread described. Unlike the top link, the bottom link does NOT open the video direct in Veronica's site. Instead it opens a new tab holding a Feedbro-generated player.

    Glad you got it fixed! 🥳

    That's such odd behaviour for an add-on though! Why would it do that?
