In the latest version of TorBrowser, when trying to play a video on Invidio.us, I get the following error: "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported". TorBrowser's security settings are on "Standard".

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

I tried this: it works. From time to time, Invidious fails to load a video. I don't think it is related to Tor Browser.

It might be due to geoblocking on some videos. I find that when using my VPN some videos require me to switch to one of their servers in a different country from the default before I can play them. It's possible that the Tor exit node you are using is an a country that can't access the video. Solutions are to (a) Ctrl+Shift+L until your exit node is in a country where the video works, (b) use Invidious to proxy the videos (see [1]) or (c) don't use Invidio.us via Tor. I recommend (c) (see [2]).
