Sheridan Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 Has anyone managed to get Channel 4 streaming working through their smoothwall? I've allowed all the crud sites its seems to try and connect to - but all I get is the spinning wheel. Its obviously obssessed with adverts and tracking - but I can't see what else needs opening?
Michael Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 The end user needs to review Site Settings and allow Pop-ups and Redirects + Intrusive Ads. Close the tab, re-open as new and Channel 4 should work.
Sheridan Posted December 13, 2024 Author Posted December 13, 2024 (edited) Even with that stuff enabled - Play just results in the spinning wheel Sometimes the DRM not enabled message appears, but not always Why are streaming services so crap these days! Edited December 13, 2024 by Sheridan
sigma Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 (edited) Its to do with playing the mandatory ads. A cursory glance shows it needs: channel4.com c4assets.com optimizely.com Almost certainly: demdex.com go-mpulse.net It may call for others.

Sheridan Posted December 13, 2024 Author Posted December 13, 2024 Ah yes - these last ones seemed to work for me: optimizely.net mpulse.net 2cnt.net demdex.com Shocking how many tracking/advert sites it requires to work - especially as the adverts are in the stream anyway! 1
