  2. Go to HBO Max and log into profile
  3. press play
  4. tries to play video is left on loading screen
  5. turns shields on/off with no difference
  6. tries to restart nothing happens

Expected result:
being able to stream video

Brave Version( check About Brave):

Additional Information:
I tried looking up if it was HBO’s fault but all that came up was clearing the cache, I tired that and it didn’t work. I have windows 10. Please fix this issue.

Hey,

@Bri.F Just tested this. It’s working for me (I was able to play WW84). The latest update addressed this issue.

Ensure brave://settings/?search=widevine is enabled, and clear the site settings (and relogin).

Fix incoming into next Brave minor release (week or 2). Apologies for the issues.
