So none of the videos on the unity learn pages seem to work for me. They just keep buffering forever and never starts up. I can download the video using IDM and it works fine after that but not on the browser.
I have tried googling and figuring out a solution for the past 3 days without success and I am at my wits end now. I have tried everything from clearing cache/cookies, different browser, restarting pc/router.
It works when I open it on my phone on the same wifi, so its not an isp issue. Anyway, kinda just gave up and bought a course on udemy. Just wanted to log this issue so the unity peoples are aware.
I was struggling with the same issue and found a workaround.
The root cause is that AdGuard mistakenly blocks API requests, thinking they are ads or tracking attempts. Once blocked, the issue persists even after disabling AdGuard.
A simple solution is to install a browser extension that allows CORS requests. Just search for “Access-Control-Allow-Origin” in your browser’s extension store, install it, and enable it. This should allow the video to play again. After that, you can disable the extension.
However, if you re-enable AdGuard, the same problem will occur again.
