Video Link Will Not Play

I was trying to open a video link here. [https://prayingmedic.com/2018/12/09/__trashed/] but the link won’t open and play.

I’m running Win Pro 7 and its the most recent version. I checked the updated for Brave and I have the latest version.

I’m able to play other video links with no problem. I’m also able to play the link above on Brave on my ipad. So the issue seems to be between Brave on my PC and the link on that page. I tried other video links at prayingmedic.com and I got the same Results. I’m wondering if it may be some setting issue with my browser on my PC?

@Daram,
This is because you’re using an outdated version of Brave. We’ve depreciated that build in favor of this one:

I highly recommend you install the new build and enjoy a much better browsing experience.
It runs in parallel with the Muon version you have installed now, so you don’t have to uninstall or overwrite anything and you can even import data from your previous Brave install into the new build.

The videos you linked to play without issue using default settings on the new build (v0.58.17). Let me know if you have any additional questions.

Ok I will do that but I had no idea that I was using a old version. I tried to updated and got the impression I had the latest version. Is there some way you can add a feature in the future where a pop-up will notify user that there is a new version. It may help resolve issue in the future.

Thanks

Also, do I have to uninstall the old version first before installing the new one or can I just download and install?

Thanks

Nope, the new version will install by itself and can be run stand alone from the previous install.
You can import bookmarks and other settings by following these instructions:

Ok problem fixed. Thanks

Out of curiosity, why did you make it a stand alone?

This was done due to development constraints and to ensure the integrity of user data. The old and new builds use different interfaces/frameworks - that is, “replacing” the files/code from the Old version (Muon) with files/code from the new one is not a simple task. Additionally, should something have gone wrong in that process, important data may have been overwritten or lost if not backed up.

This way, anyone can install and use any Brave build they want without having to uninstall or overwrite any files or browsing data.

Hope this helps!
