**Reproduces how often:**Did Brave update 3 days ago, and it wont work. everytime.

Operating System and Brave Version(See the About Brave page in the main menu):
Version 1.77 of Brave
Additional Information:
would like to use Playlist offline. Did upgrade to Rumble Premium. Not sure if it affected Brave?

No issues here, No account here so I just tested the video playback;

I suspect rumble occasionally has issues? Nothing stopping Brave from working on it.

Did you download to PLAYLIST and Play? I can play Rumble podcasts but not save to Playlist. Would like to use them offline. Nobody has a Rumble account? Sorry the answer is lacking. Sorry if I misinterpreted.

@fanboynz the issue here is that Playlist can’t seem to fetch the video. Since we’re speaking of Playlist on iOS and not just playing content from the website directly, we wouldn’t want to use a Live stream as I’m seeing in the prior link. For my example, I went to https://rumble.com/v6t3w41-silo-agent-turbo-mode-cheat-unlocked-goldeneye-007.html.

If Shields are enabled, it just comes up with nothing and says there’s a problem loading the resource, such as below:

If a person turns off Shields and plays the video, it will show ads but then get to the content. Saving the video to Playlist then should theoretically work, but instead it only saves the ad for offline viewing and not the actual video content. Below is a screenshot where the video was playing but then when you check the screenshot underneath, you see what actually saved

I got bitchute and another smaller podcaster to download to player. Had not been able to do this before. So, yes think you right, a Rumble thing. I will go back to their support. TY.

@Saoiray To clarify, this only appears to happen when trying to save content to Playlist that was live streamed?

@Mattches it happens on any video from Rumble. It can’t save to Playlist. What it does is try to save the ad. So if Shields is on, it will show resource error. If Shields is off, it saves the ad but not the actual video

Regardless, the actual video content a person wants to add to playlist never gets there. This issue only seems to be happening on Rumble.

Instead of repeating, I’ll just link the original issue:

This issue resolved itself for less than a month, now it’s returned (roughly a week ago).
If anyone can take a look at the code, figure out why the hell the Brave app refuses all of a sudden to add Rumble videos to the playlist it would be great!

EDIT:
Just to make my use-case clear:
As Saoiray said, I’m using Rumble with Shield on (as I always have), and any video added to the playlist results in a resource error in the Playlist.
